Lead Pipe

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or pipe:

    “Boys and bad hunters had known what to do
    With stone and lead to unprotected glass:
    Shatter it inward on the unswept floors.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
