Threaded Couplings

Famous quotes containing the words threaded and/or couplings:

“Two children, all alone and no one by,
Holding their tattered frocks, thro’an airy maze
Of motion lightly threaded with nimble feet
Dance sedately; face to face they gaze,
Their eyes shining, grave with a perfect pleasure.”
—Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)

“Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode; and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
