Narrow Gauge Lines

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or lines:

“Bring the balloon of the mind
That bellies and drags in the wind
Into its narrow shed.”

“To understand
The signs that stars compose, we need depend
Only on stars that are entirely there
And the apparent space between them. There
Never need be lines between them, puzzling
Our sense of what is what.”
