Famous quotes containing the words island, rail and/or road:

“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”

The passers of the past
Because their to and fro
Has cut this road to last,
I owe them more today
Because they’ve gone away....”
