Hollow Body Bass

Famous quotes containing the words hollow, body and/or bass:

    “This Light inspires, and plays upon
    The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
    And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
    As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
    Such language as no mortal Ear
    But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
    —Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    “Each body is in its bunker. The surgeon applies his gum.
    Each body is fitted quickly into its ice-cream pack
    and then stitched up again for the long voyage
    back.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “How are we to know that a Dracula is a key-pounding pianist who lifts his hands up to his face, or that a bass fiddle is the doghouse, or that shmaltz musicians are four-button suit guys and long underwear boys?”
    —In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
