Empty Strings

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or strings:

“Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room,
Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
Pounded on the table,
Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
Hard as they were able,”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

“There are strings in the human heart that had better not be wibrated.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
