Belly/music

Famous quotes containing the words belly and/or music:

“A rat crept softly through the vegetation
Dragging its slimy belly on the bank
While I was fishing in the dull canal
On a winter evening round behind the gashouse
Musing upon the king my brother’s wreck
And on the king my father’s death before him.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
