Lead Pipe

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or pipe:

    ‘Whence thou return’st, and whither wentst, I know;
    For God is also in sleep; and dreams advise,
    Which he hath sent propitious, some great good
    Presaging, since, with sorrow and heart’s distress,
    Wearied I fell asleep: but now lead on;
    In me is no delay; without thee here to stay,
    Is to go hence unwilling; thou to me
    Art all things under Heaven, all places thou,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    On a cloud I saw a child,
    And he laughing said to me,

    Pipe a song about a Lamb”;
    So I piped with merry chear.
    “Piper pipe that song again”—
    So I piped, he wept to hear.

    “Drop thy pipe thy happy pipe
    Sing thy songs of happy chear”;
    So I sung the same again
    While he wept with joy to hear.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
