a rift in the clouds large enough
On the after-deck of the “Fram” (October, 1894) ( From a Photograph ) “There is scarcely any night, or rather I may safely say there is no night, on which no trace of aurora can be discerned as soon as the sky becomes clear, or even when there is simply a rift in the clouds large enough for it to be seen; and as a rule we have strong light phenomena dancing in ceaseless unrest over the firmament.
— from Farthest North, Vol. I Being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship 'Fram' 1893-1896 by Fridtjof Nansen

a race in this country long enough
Ain't there a race in this country long enough for you to win?
