Quote by Francis Thompson

The devil doesn't know how to sing, only how to howl.

The devil doesn't know how to sing, only how to howl.

Summary

This quote suggests that negativity and evil often manifest themselves loudly and aggressively. Comparing the devil's inability to sing to howling implies that the devil lacks grace, beauty, and harmony. Instead, it resorts to noisy and chaotic methods to express itself. In a broader sense, the quote may convey the idea that negativity tends to drown out positivity, drawing attention through loudness rather than any genuine depth or substance.
