Fiddle Tunes

Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or tunes:

    But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
    As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
    Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
    That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
    Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
    That I am still their servant though all are underground.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.
    Sigmund Z. Engel (b. 1869)
