Played Marimba

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or marimba:

who wore the red shoes,
each boarded a train that would not stop.
Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop.
They all danced like trout on the hook.
They were played with.”

“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
