from the st. sebastian’s renaissance guild website:
what does “high strung” mean?
when a bow is “high strung” it means that when the bow is strung the height of the string from the handle is over 6 inches. this made the bow fast to shoot but over-stressed the wood causing the bow to have a very short life. when a bow fails it tends to explode.
so a “high strung” person is quick to blow up. quick to anger, etc

high strung quotes:
thane furrows: i’d rather… be… dead!
thane furrows: relationships? they shouldn’t even call them relationships. they should have a more descriptive name: painland.
thane furrows: smokers. there’s no excuse for smoking. smoking is the equivalent to carrying around a salt lick, laced with a little bit of cyanide.
