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