Contiguous

Famous quotes containing the word contiguous:

    A CAUSE is an object precedent and contiguous to another, and so united with it that the idea of the one determines the mind to form the idea of the other, and the impression of the one to form a more lively idea of the other.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Now in contiguous drops the flood comes down,
    Threat’ning with deluge this devoted town.
    To shops in crowds the daggled females fly,
    Pretend to cheapen goods, but nothing buy.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
