Drum Surface

Famous quotes containing the words drum and/or surface:

“Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried;”

“Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: “It’s four o’clock ... At five I have my abyss.””
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
