String Electric Guitar

Famous quotes containing the words string, electric and/or guitar:

    “... looped with the creep of varying light,
    Monkey-brown, fish-grey, a string of infected circles
    Loitering like bullies, about to coagulate....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “Swiftly in the nights,
    In the porches of Key West,
    Behind the bougainvilleas
    After the guitar is asleep,
    Lasciviously as the wind,
    You come tormenting.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
