I do not know quite what is meant by untuning the sky and, if I did, I cannot think that there is anything to be particularly gained by having the sky untuned; still, if it has got to be untuned at all, I am sure music is the only thing that can untune it.
I was not doomed to see her tortured by pain, or raving in delirious agony, to see those exquisite features distorted by frenzy, or to hear that low, sweet voice untuned, the key-note of reason lost. Thank heaven! even death laid its hand gently on one so gentle and so lovely. I said, death laid its hand gently on one so gentle and so lovely.
It is not for organizations untuned to earthly music to criticise the great composers, or for those who are deaf to spiritual harmonies to criticise the higher natures which lose themselves in the strains of divine contemplation. The bewildered reader must not forget that passage of arms, previously mentioned, between Plato and Diogenes. Emerson looked rather askance at Science in his early days.
Her voice shrilled suddenly loud and harsh, like an untuned string under the bow. Jim Dodge flung his hat on his head with an impatient exclamation. "Come on, Fan," he said roughly. "Nobody's going to bother you. Don't you worry." Mrs.

A dwarf creature perched on a piano stool teased the keys of an untuned piano and drew forth adorable melody, skipping the broken notes with great agility. ... It was the same old Paris, even in time of war.
The tinkle of more or less untuned cottage pianos floated out of open stern-ports till the gas-lamps began to twinkle in the streets, and the ship's night-watchman, coming sleepily on duty after his unsatisfactory day slumbers, hauled down the flags and fastened a lighted lantern at the break of the gangway. The night closed rapidly upon the silent ships with their crews on shore.
