Violin/fiddle

Famous quotes containing the words violin and/or fiddle:

“Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.”

“But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
That I am still their servant though all are underground.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
