Single Reeds

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or reeds:

    His virtues walked their narrow round,
    Nor made a pause, nor left a void;
    And sure the Eternal Master found
    The single talent well employed.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    What was he doing, the great god Pan,
    Down in the reeds by the river?
    Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
    Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat,
    And breaking the golden lilies afloat
    With the dragon-fly on the river.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
