On with the Dance! let joy be unconfined. – Byron –
And the dancing has begun now, And the danceres whirl round gaily in the waltz’s giddy mazes, and the ground beneath them trembles. – Heine, Book of Songs –
Come, knit hands, and beat the ground in a light fantastic round. – Milton –
Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe. – Milton –
It is no small thing to have played for mankind to dance. – Richard Specht, of Johann Strauss
