Famous quotes containing the words rent and/or strokes:
“I have been breaking silence these twenty-three years and have hardly made a rent in it.”

“It was the bad ax-helve someone had sold me
“Made on machine,” he said, plowing the grain
With thick thumbnail to show how it ran
Across the handle’s long-drawn serpentine,
Like the two strokes across a dollar sign.”
