The Welches had no animals to keep in or out - a fence there could serve no purpose. Their work was pointless. Years later, while I was waiting for a boat to take me across the river, I watched two Vietnamese women methodically hitting a discarded truck tire with sticks.

If you use a colloquialism or a slang word or phrase, simply use it; do not draw attention to it by enclosing it in quotation marks. To do so is to put on airs, as though you were inviting the reader to join you in a select society of those who know better. William Strunk, Jr.

I actually do my own renovations. I designed and built a 100-foot split-cedar rail fence to enclose my property. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Don't recommend doing it alone. I also built a 100-square-foot back porch. Again, don't recommend doing it alone. Jeffrey Donovan
And I have been able to give freedom and life which was acknowledged in the ecstasy of walking hand in hand across the most beautiful bridge of the world, the cables enclosing us and pulling us upward in such a dance as I have never walked and never can walk with another. Hart Crane
Nicolaus Copernicus quote: "We regard it as a certainty that the earth, enclosed between..."
We regard it as a certainty that the earth, enclosed between poles, is bounded by a spherical surface. Nicolaus Copernicus
What we call barbecuing in this country is actually direct grilling. In many countries, it also means cooking in an enclosed box with a heat source, ideally wood, all year round. Jamie Oliver
Simone Weil quote: "A mind enclosed in language is in prison."
A mind enclosed in language is in prison. Simone Weil
Paul Cezanne quote: "The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must..."
The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings. Paul Cezanne
The metropolis reveals itself as one of those great historical formations in which opposing streams which enclose life unfold, as well as join one another with equal right. Georg Simmel
And time itself? Time was a never-ending medium that stretched into the future and the past - except there was no future and no past, but an infinite number of brackets, extending either way, each bracket enclosing its single phase of the Universe. Clifford D. Simak
