Border Lights

Famous quotes containing the words border and/or lights:

    For my part, I feel that with regard to Nature I live a sort of border life, on the confines of a world into which I make occasional and transient forays only, and my patriotism and allegiance to the state into whose territories I seem to retreat are those of a moss-trooper.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    So the 20th Century—so
    whizzed the Limited—roared by and left
    three men, still hungry on the tracks, ploddingly
    watching the tail lights wizen and converge, slip-
    ping gimleted and neatly out of sight.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
