Pitch Accents

Famous quotes containing the words pitch and/or accents:

“Though I have locked my gate on them
I pity all the young,
I know what devil’s trade they learn
From those they live among,
Their drink, their pitch and toss by day,
Their robbery by night....”

Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
