Now I don't usually try to figure these things out but were you in the 7th or maybe work around cattle. No need for answere

Now for your question, No.  One end has to be made fast and other end has to have the ability to be let out or pulled in so that sail can be set adjusted.

Looking at picture that probable sparked your question the sheet is not the line with the sliding block and is tied to the two eyes.  In a sense that is a simplified traveler.  The sheet is the line that loops down from the boom to the sliding block then goes back up to the block on boom and down then up again ( not sure if those are 2 or 3 sheave blocks) then back to bottom block where it is led threw the cam cleat fair lead then hanging down into cock pit.

Sorry for the long explanation and hope amswere is not too confusing
