Not the rich viol, trump, cymbal, nor horn.
Guitar, nor cittern, nor the pining flute.
Are half so sweet as tender human words.[ Barry Cornwall ]
But the soul is not the body and the breath is not the flute;
Both together make the music, either marred and all is mute.[ Robert Browning ]
To blow is not to play the flute; you must move the fingers as well.[ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]
A flute lay side by side with Frederick the Great's baton of command.[ Jean Paul ]
To blow on the flute is not to play on it; you must move the fingers as well.[ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]
