Famous quotes containing the words bar and/or maine:

    Think ... before the words—the vows are spoken, which put yet another terrible bar between us.... I call upon you in the name of God ... to be sincere with me—Can you, my Annie, bear to think I am another’s?
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Oh, there are people, all right, settled in the sea;
    It is as populous as Maine today,
    But no one who will give you the time of day.
    William Meredith (b. 1919)
