Syncopated Clock

Famous quotes containing the words syncopated and/or clock:

“Droning a drowsy syncopated tune,
Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,
I heard a Negro play.

Down on Lenox Avenue the other night
By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light”

seeing the clock stopped, says,
The clock has stopped

that ticked yesterday so well?”
