Famous quotes containing the words backing and/or track:

    When I moved in with a bathing suit and tea bags
    the ocean rumbled like a train backing up
    and at each window secrets came in
    like gas.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters—not to talk in armies and nations and numbers—but to track it home.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
