Baron Carpenter

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or carpenter:

    “Erle Douglas on his milk-white steede,
    Most like a baron bold,
    Rode foremost of his company,
    Whose armor shone like gold.”
    —Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 65–68)

    ““But there’s always been rich and poor, and that’s all there is to it. And us two won’t change it, either.”
    The carpenter calmly puffs away: “Only the ones that likes it ought to be poor. Let the others have a try at it first. I ain’t got no liking for it. A fellow gets tired of it after a while.””
    —Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
