open vein

Benedict had ready a piece of court-plaster, which he pressed upon the open vein and held it closed.

While the blood trickled from the open vein he continued to talk on in the same strain.

He was on the threshold of the grave; his lips quivered and his eye grew dim, and the blood refused to flow from the open vein.

The sky over Patusan was blood-red, immense, streaming like an open vein.

The Prince of the Captivity touched the open vein with his lips.
