Vent Lines

Famous quotes containing the words vent and/or lines:

    Enter Rumor, painted full of tongues.
    Open your ears; for which of you will stop
    The vent of hearing when loud Rumor speaks?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I struck the board, and cried, “No more.
    I will abroad.”
    What? Shall I ever sigh and pine?
    My lines and life are free; free as the road,
    Loose as the wind, as large as store.
    Shall I be still in suit?
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
