Famous quotes containing the words pipe and/or lines:

“When you can pipe that merry old strain,
Robert of Lincoln, come back again.”

“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
