Sisters Images game. The reboot

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Okay, this one's particularly cryptic! I'll be impressed if anyone gets it without at least one clue, but let's see how you go first.

You are surprisingly close! You may have worked out the first part of the puzzle, but not the second, which leads to the actual line. (However, as it's ridiculously cryptic, if no-one manages to fathom my convoluted reasoning, this should be good enough to count as a win. What led you to that answer?)

The icon on CloseAll reminded me lipstick and as a programmer/analyst the whole window was a close enough image of window pane style. Also the noicon, closeall readme was a kind of closure feel in distinct mark of the outside world. NWN was definetly first candidate for me :)

Right icon. I wasn't thinking of lipstick, but "close all". Close all what? The answer might suggest a literary reference, which in turn should suggest the line. (Told you it was convoluted!)

Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train"

I'm still drawing a blank for the reference -- all windows? Programs? Things even? How frustrating! (in the good way)

It's the icon for Close all Windows. Which might suggest the poem Now Close the Windows, by Robert Frost. Which could be described as a poem by, ahem, Frost upon the window pane.

You really shouldn't let me do any more of these.
