Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or pipe:
“I love all men who dive. Any fish can swim near the surface, but it takes a great whale to go down stairs five miles or more; & if he dont attain the bottom, why, all the lead in Galena cant fashion the plummet that will.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Pans Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now shes turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pans pipe does come,
A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
—John Lyly (15531606)
