Famous quotes containing the words island and/or rails:
“Beyond this island bound
By a thin sea of flesh
And a bone coast ...”

“You could almost see the brass on her gleaming,
Not quite. The mist was to light what red
Is to fire. And her mainmast tapered to nothing,
Without teetering a millimeter’s measure.
The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
