The wall that turns sprawl into sonnet, and limits into the mother of invention.
means A limit or rule that keeps something within set bounds, controlling what can be done, used, or allowed.
from From Latin 'restrictio,' from 'restringere'—'re-' (back) plus 'stringere' (to draw tight, bind). The same 'stringere' tightens its way into 'strict,' 'stringent,' and 'constrain.' To restrict, literally, is to draw something back and bind it fast—the rope pulled taut. It reached English through Latin and Old French around the 15th century.
