Famous quotes containing the words bell and/or boy:
“Its quick silver bell beating, beating
And down the dark one ruby flare
Pulsing out red light like an artery,”

“I was born a mechanic, and made a barrel before I was ten years old. The cooper told my father, “Fanny made that barrel, and has done it quicker and better than any boy I have had after six months’ training.” My father looked at it and said, “What a pity that you were not born a boy so that you could be good for something. Run into the house, child, and go to knitting.””
—Frances D. Gage (1808–1884)
