Famous quotes containing the words brass and/or bands:
“You could almost see the brass on her gleaming,
Not quite. The mist was to light what red
Is to fire. And her mainmast tapered to nothing,
Without teetering a millimeters measure.
The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“With girls, everything looks great on the surface. But beware of drawers that wont open. They contain a three-month supply of dirty underwear, unwashed hose, and rubber bands with blobs of hair in them.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
