Lap Steel Guitars

Famous quotes containing the words lap, steel and/or guitars:

    Far from the sun and summer-gale
    In thy green lap was Nature’s Darling laid,
    What time, where lucid Avon stray’d,
    To him the mighty mother did unveil
    Her awful face:
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    Through joy and blindness he shall know,
    Not caring much to know, that still
    Nor lead nor steel shall reach him,
    Julian Grenfell (1888–1915)

    Even now she does the snake-hips with a hiss,
    Slops the bad wine across her shantung, talks
    Of pregnancy, guitars and bridgework, walks
    In parks or alleys, comes haply on the verge
    Of happiness, haply hysterics. Is.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
