Played Marimba

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or marimba:

“You have seen
Sunshine and rain at once; her smiles and tears
Were like a better way: those happy smilets
That played on her ripe lip seemed not to know
What guests were in her eyes, which parted thence
As pearls from diamonds dropped.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
