Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or rails:
“It’s the anarchy of poverty
delights me, the old
yellow wooden house indented
among the new brick tenements”

“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)
