Bar

Famous quotes containing the word bar:

    ‘Yes; quaint and curious war is!
    You shoot a fellow down
    You’d treat if met where any bar is,
    Or help to half-a-crown.’
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    O City city, I can sometimes hear
    Beside a public bar in Lower Thames Street,
    The pleasant whining of a mandolin
    And a clatter and a chatter from within
    Where fishmen lounge at noon.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    They made a paction tween them twa,
    They made it firm and sure,
    That the first word whaeer shoud speak,
    Shoud rise and bar the door.
    —Unknown. Get Up and Bar the Door (l. 13–16)
