Famous quotes containing the words marimba and/or bars:
“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
