Famous quotes containing the words skirmish and/or lines:
“Truth-loving Persians do not dwell upon
The trivial skirmish fought near Marathon.”

“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)
