• I have shed pewter tears! It is too melancholy! Rather let me go to the wars and lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot bear it longer! Now, I know what it is to have a visit from one's old thoughts, with what they may bring with them! I have had a visit from mine, and you may be sure it is no pleasant thing in the end; I was at last about to jump down from the drawers.

• The shed of leaves became a cascade of red and gold and after a time the trees stood skeletal against a sky of weathered tin. The land lay bled of its colors. The nights lengthened, went darker, brightened in their clustered stars. The chilled air smelled of wood smoke, of distances and passing time. Frost glimmered on the morning fields. Crows called across the pewter afternoons.

  James Carlos Blake

• Why, if 'tis dancing you would be, There's brisker pipes than poetry. Say, for what were hop-yards meant, Or why was Burton built on Trent? Oh many a peer of England brews Livelier liquor than the Muse, And malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to man. Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think: Look into the pewter pot To see the world as the world's not.

  A. E. Housman

• Tuve suerte. Partiendo de la nada en el cinturón de maíz, ayudé a editar un semanario rural, luego fui el chico de todos los departamentos en un oscuro diario, de modo que cuando llegué a una gran ciudad todo lo que abordaba en la línea de la dirección de columnas y la venta sindical y la escritura de obras de teatro tenía que traer promoción, porque no tenía ninguna posición social que pudiera estar en peligro, ninguna reputación que tirar por la borda y ningún orgullo que pudiera sufrir un revés. Todo lo que adquiría tenía que ser de terciopelo. No puedes perder tu cuchara de plata si te has criado con estaño.

  George Ade

• But to proceed; as in order and place, so also in matter of her Creation, Woman far excells Man. things receive their value from the matter they are made of, and the excellent skill of their maker: Pots of common clay must not contend with China-dishes, nor pewter utensils vye dignity with those of silver.... Woman was not composed of any inanimate or vile dirt, but of a more refined and purified substance, enlivened and actuated by a Rational Soul, whose operations speak it a beam, or bright ray of Divinity.
