Famous quotes containing the words shoeing and/or smith:
“His talk was like a spring, which runs
With rapid change from rocks to roses:
It slipped from politics to puns,
It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
Beginning with the laws which keep
The planets in their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
“Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
