Famous quotes containing the words linked and/or canals:

    The exercise of letters is sometimes linked to the ambition to contruct an absolute book, a book of books that includes the others like a Platonic archetype, an object whose virtues are not diminished by the passage of time.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    The Nymph exulting fills with shouts the sky;
    The walls, the woods, and long canals reply.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
