Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes

Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-roompiled high with cases in my father's name;Piled high, packed large, --where, creeping in and outamong the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mousebetween the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and thereat this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heatsof terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first.And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark.An hour before the sun would let me read!My books!

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

We love all kinds of music: We love pop music, we love rock music, we love R & B and country, and we just pull from all our influences.
