Borromean Rings

In mathematics, the Borromean rings consist of three topological circles which are linked and form a Brunnian link; i.e., removing any ring results in two unlinked rings. In other words, no two of the three rings are linked with each other, but nonetheless all three are linked.

    “You held my hand
    and were instant to explain
    the three rings of danger.”
