Piping Replaced

Famous quotes containing the words piping and/or replaced:

    It is principally for the sake of the leg that a change in the dress of man is so much to be desired.... The leg is the best part of the figure ... and the best leg is the man’s.... Man should no longer disguise the long lines, the strong forms, in those lengths of piping or tubing that are of all garments the most stupid.
    Alice Meynell (1847–1922)

    ... the girls who came at dawn
    To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
    The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
    Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
