Wallace Stevens quotes on noise

30. A breath upon her hand Muted the night. She turned - A cymbal crashed, Amid roaring horns.

136. There was such idiot minstrelsy in rain, So many clappers going without bells, That these bethous compose a heavenly gong. One voice repeating, one tireless chorister, The phrases of a single phrase, ke-ke, A single text, granite monotony
