Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or instruments:

    There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    But when to mischiefmortals bend their will,
    How soon they find fit instruments of ill!
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
