Pipe Snakes

Famous quotes containing the words pipe and/or snakes:

“Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now she’s turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
—John Lyly (1553–1606)

“Or driven wild
by snakes that kept the carrots clean,
she butchered snakes and carrots with a hoe.”
—Richard Hugo (1923–1982)
