Trim Cables

Famous quotes containing the words trim and/or cables:

“Manhood is melted into courtesies, valour into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.”

“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
