Rails

Famous quotes containing the word rails:

“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)

“The train’s gone, the rails are cold.”
—Russian saying, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
