Narrow Gauge Line

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or line:

    Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,
    The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.
    John Gregory Brown (20th century)
