Yes--she is an extra special nice pigeon. She cries for pity when she wants pity. And she shuts her eyes when she doesn't want to look at you.

Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.

A while later, I lingered in the hinterlands of sleep. Sometimes I think there is more rest in that place between wakefulness and sleep than there is in true sleep.

Things we are not ready to know abide in that place, awaiting that unguarded frame of mind.
- Robin Hobb

You can relax more when you're playing a silly character than when you're playing a really rigid character.

Over flower
In the twilight hour.

We are owls, we are free.
As we go, this we know
Glaux is nigh.
- Kathryn Lasky

The day was gone, the twilight was gone, and the snow was invisible as I came down to the side of the lake. Only the moon, white and shining, was in the sky, like a woman glorying in her own loveliness as she loiters superbly to the gaze of all the world, looking sometimes through the fringe of dark olive leaves, sometimes looking at her own superb, quivering body, wholly naked in the water of the lake.

- Roman Payne

where nothing can set foot.

And should I fall behind,Wait for me.

- Banana Yoshimoto

Bass Player Quotes

I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I'd love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn't me, it wasn't my name. - Bryan Adams In jazz, you listen to what the bass player is doing and what the drummer is doing, what the pianist and the guitarist is doing, and then you play something that compliments that, so you are thinking simultaneously and thinking ahead. - David Amram I can understand why some of these drummers and bass players become cult figures with all of their equipment and the incredible amount of technique they have.
