Sir John Davies Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: April 16, 1569 - December 8, 1626
Birthday: April 16
Death: December 8
These wickets of the soul are plac'd so high, Because all sounds do highly move aloft; And that they may not pierce too violently, They are delay'd with turns and twinings oft. For should the voice directly strike the brain, It would astonish and confuse it much; Therefore these plaits and folds the sound restrain. That it the organ may more gently touch.
