Famous quotes containing the words border, pipe and/or repertoire:

    Swift while the woof is whole,
    turn now my spirit, swift,
    and tear the pattern there,
    the flowers so deftly wrought,
    the border of sea-blue,
    the sea-blue coast of home.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Wind and Thistle for pipe and dancers
    And never a ploughman under the Sun.
    Never a ploughman. Never a one.
    Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.
