Talk:vein

Some phrases in which "vein" is used:

• They encouraged writers who, like Professor Laurent of the University of Ghent, denied the necessity of granting liberty to the Church, or who, like Professor de Laveleye of the University of Liège, asserted the superiority of Protestantism. Their Antwerp associations flooded the country with copies of a pamphlet written by the latter in this vein.[1]
• "The soil," says St. Ambrose, "was given to rich and poor in common." St. Gregory the Great, St. Augustine, St. Basil the Great, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Jerome write in similar vein. The taking of usury was universally condemned.[2]
• With regard to this intense sympathy with some lovely object of personal passion and affection, a witty authoress once said to me,—'But why should it require three goddesses to perfect one giant?' The question, though put playfully, is too profound to be answered in the same vein.[3]

This article doesn't seem to mention the geology version of the term (w:Vein (geology)), which it probably should (I'd add it myself, but I'm not sure of the exact definition). There apparently is also w:veining (metallurgy) but I think that is covered by the existing version definition 8. --Pokechu22 (talk) 07:06, 12 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
