Ralph Vaughan Williams Quotes:
Ocupation: Composer
Life: October 12, 1872 - August 26, 1958
Birthday: October 12
Death: August 26
There [is] a feeling of recognition, as of meeting an old friend, which comes to us all in the face of great artistic experiences. I had the same experience when I first heard an English folksong, when I first saw Michelangelo's Day and Night, when I suddenly came upon Stonehenge or had my first sight of New York City - the intuition that I had been there already.
