Double Basses

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or basses:

“Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.”

“Of a green evening, clear and warm,
She bathed in her still garden, while
The red-eyed elders watching, felt

The basses of their beings throb
In witching chords, and their thin blood
Pulse pizzicati of Hosanna.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
