Famous quotes containing the words vent and/or line:
“There is some reason to believe that when a man does not write his poetry it escapes by other vents through him, instead of the one vent of writing; clings to his form and manners, whilst poets have often nothing poetical about them except their verses.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It may be the more
That no line of her writing have I,
Nor a thread of her hair,
No mark of her late time as dame in her dwelling, whereby
I may picture her there.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
