Pipe/music

Famous quotes containing the words pipe and/or music:

“Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now she’s turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pan’s 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 (1553–1606)

“Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.”
—André Malraux (1901–1976)
