Quotes by James Laughlin (?)

“El calendario de la fama

"Adiós, adiós, mis amadas manos"
dijo Rachmaninov en su lecho de muerte
y Joseph Hofmann, el gran pianista,
inventó el limpiaparabrisas
de observar su metrónomo
Genio que soy, que lo único que puedo hacer
es marcar las teclas equivocadas en mi máquina de escribir”
― James Laughlin
