Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or line:

    “‘Yes; quaint and curious war is!
    You shoot a fellow down
    You’d treat if met where any bar is,
    Or help to half-a-crown.’”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
    Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
    And spaced by many years, each line an act
    Through which few labor, which no men retract.
    This passion is the scholar’s heritage,”
    —Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
