Gas Shells

Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or shells:

“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.

Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

“Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their lustre.”
