Pan Pipes

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or pipes:

    A ‘spasm band’ is a miscellaneous collection of a soap box, tin cans, pan tops, nails, drumsticks, and little Negro boys. When mixed in the proper proportions this results in the wildest shuffle dancing, accompanied by a bumping rhythm.
    —For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    They were pipes of pagan mirth,
    And the world had found new terms of worth.
    He laid him down on the sunburned earth
    And raveled a flower and looked away.
    Play? Play? What should he play?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
