Notable Quotes

❝ Her sinuous voice, accompanied by the sparing and gentle arrangements of the White Velvet, battles with the pinnacles of the cities, the sharp cobblestones of the streets, the checkered profiles of the houses, the precise bricks of the facades and the cut of the wood, with the long and thin raindrops.
