Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or wire:
“The Poplar grows up straight and tall,
The Pear-tree spreads along the wall,”

“God, I am caught in a snare!
I know not what fine wire is round my throat;
I only know I let him finger there
My pulse of life, and let him nose like a stoat
Who sniffs with joy before he drinks the blood.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
