Pipe Organs

Famous quotes containing the words pipe and/or organs:

    Pretty friendship ‘tis to rhyme
    Your friends to death before their time
    Moping melancholy mad:
    Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    But the man and woman of seventy assume to know all, they have outlived their hope, they renounce aspiration, accept the actual for the necessary and talk down to the young. Let them then become organs of the Holy Ghost; let them be lovers; let them behold truth; and their eyes are uplifted, their wrinkles smoothed, they are perfumed again with hope and power.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
