Trip Lever

Famous quotes containing the words trip and/or lever:

    Jack and Joan they think no ill,
    But loving live, and merry still;
    Do their week-days’ work, and pray
    Devoutly on the holy day;
    Skip and trip it on the green,
    And help to choose the Summer Queen;
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    There is an inner world; and a spiritual faculty of discerning it with absolute clearness, nay, with the most minute and brilliant distinctness. But it is part of our earthly lot that it is the outer world, in which we are encased, which is the lever that brings that spiritual faculty into play.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
