Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
---Robert Frost, "Mending Wall"
Every wall is a door.
---Ralph Waldo emerson
In some places walls come down…
A Cypriot soldier works to remove sections of a wall that divided the Greek and Turkish
Cypriot controlled areas in Ledras main street in Nicosia, Cyprus, early Friday March 9, 2007.
The effort could revive bilateral efforts - frozen for over a year - to allow movement
between the Greek and Turkish sectors in the walled Old City, Nicosia's commercial
and tourist center. (AP Photo/Petros Karadjias)

On May 17,2006 the U.S. Senate approved with S. 2611 what could be 370 miles of triple layered-fencing along the Mexican USA Border.
Joshua Bearman wrote a story for LA Weekly about a game of "border volleyball," in which players on either side of a two-story fence separating the US and Mexico hit a ball back and forth. This is a clip of such a game captured on video, from Wholphin (DVD Magazine of unseen films).
