a single line of small stuff thin enough to lash the world together
means the act of binding or lashing something with marline, a thin two-stranded cord, using a series of hitches (marling hitches) along its length
from From 'marline,' the small nautical line, which sailors took from the Dutch 'marlijn' — a blend of 'marren,' to bind or moor, and 'lijn,' a line. So 'marling' is, quite literally, the binding-with-a-binding-line, and the verb wears its purpose on its sleeve.
