Guitar Neck

Famous quotes containing the words guitar and/or neck:

    “Swiftly in the nights,
    In the porches of Key West,
    Behind the bougainvilleas
    After the guitar is asleep,
    Lasciviously as the wind,
    You come tormenting.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “If with light head erect I sing,
    Though all the muses lend their force,
    From my poor love of anything,
    The verse is weak and shallow as its source.

    But if with bended neck I grope,
    Listening behind me for my wit,
    With faith superior to hope,
    More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
