Where every story sags, every road forgets its name, and nobody plants a flag.
means The point or part roughly equidistant from the edges, ends, or extremes of something — neither beginning nor end, neither side nor center-most but the broad space between.
from From Old English 'middel,' which traces back to a Proto-Germanic root (compare Dutch 'middel,' German 'Mittel') and ultimately a Proto-Indo-European root '*medhyo-' meaning 'middle.' That same ancient root fans out across languages — it's a likely cousin of Latin 'medius' (giving us 'medium,' 'mediate,' 'median') and Greek 'mesos.' So the very idea of in-between-ness is itself an old, well-traveled middle child of the word family.
