White Protestant

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or protestant:

“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“blow as he would, though it made a great noise,
The flute would play only ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
