Famous quotes containing the words shanghai and/or music:
“It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
“But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
Or smote upon the string and to the sound
Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.”
