Entry: reglets (n.)
In context: Continuing
from the previous: “…the cone of light pans over fixtures, the lumpy jumbles of
sleeping boys’ shadows on the snuff-white walls, the two rag throw-rugs’ ovals
on the hardwood floor, black lines of baseboards’ reglets, the cracks in
the venetian blinds that ooze the violent nonlight of a night with snow and
just a hook of the moon…”
Definition: A narrow strip of
moulding used to separate panels or other parts from each other, or to cover
joins.
