Banks/music

Famous quotes containing the words banks and/or music:

    The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-coloured bulbs of man-rayed luminance. A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets—we remember only.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
