Famous quotes containing the words closely, observed and/or trains:

The thing described, nor false facsimile.
It is an artificial thing that exists,
In its own seeming, plainly visible,
Yet not too closely the double of our lives,
Intenser than any actual life could be....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 2:2.
The Wise men.
“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
