Call Letters

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or letters:

    “Please your honors,” said he, “I’m able,
    By means of a secret charm, to draw
    All creatures living beneath the sun,
    That creep, or swim, or fly, or run,
    After me so as you never saw!
    And I chiefly use my charm
    On creatures that do people harm,
    The mole, and toad, and newt, and viper;
    And people call me the Pied Piper.”
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    There are other letters for the child to learn than those which Cadmus invented. The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knolwedge, Grammatica parda, tawny grammar, a kind of mother-wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
