Famous quotes containing the words water and/or rails:
“If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.”

“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)
