To brisk notes in cadence beating
Glance their many-twinkling feet. [ Gray ]

With sonorous notes
Of every tone, mix'd in confusion sweet,
Our forest rings. [ Carlos Wilcox ]

Your Words are like the notes of dying swans,
Too sweet to last. [ Dryden ]

Hear the mellow wedding bells.
Golden bells!
What a world of happiness their harmony foretells
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight!
From the molten golden notes,
And all in tune
What a liquid ditty floats
To the turtle-dove that listen? while she gloats
On the moon! [ Poe ]

Eternal Hope! when yonder spheres sublime
Pealed their first notes to sound the march of Time,
Thy joyous youth began - but not to fade -
When all thy sister planets have decayed; [ Thomas Campbell ]

The soft contralto notes of a woman's voice are born in the immediate region of the heart. [ Alfred de Musset ]

I'd like to see a nude opera, because when they hit those high notes, I bet you can really see it in those genitals. [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]

The sphere-harmony of a Shakespeare, of a Goethe, the cathedral music of a Milton, the humble, genuine lark-notes of a Burns. [ Carlyle ]

We pass by common objects or persons without noticing them; but the keen eye detects and notes types everywhere and among all classes. [ Thackeray ]

When I take up a book I have read before, I know what to expect; the satisfaction is not lessened by being anticipated. I shake hands with, and look our old tried and valued friend in the face, - compare notes and chat the hour away. [ Hazlitt ]

'Tis the merry nightingale that crowds and hurries and precipitates, with fast thick warble, his delicious notes, as he were fearful that an April night would be too short for him to utter forth his love-chant, and disburden his full soul of all its music. [ Coleridge ]

Hair is the most delicate and lasting of our materials, and survives us, like love. It is so light, so gentle, so escaping from the idea of death, that, with a lock of hair belonging to a child or friend, we may almost look up to heaven and compare notes with the angelic nature, - may almost say, I have a piece of thee here not unworthy of thy being now. [ Leigh Hunt ]
