Because :

(1) application is left associative.

Thus `f x y' means `(f x) y' and
     `x Line ""' means `(x Line) ""'.

(2) parentheses don't delimit the arguments of a function or a
    constructor but only fix the precedence of an expression.

Thus f x (y) means f x y and
     `x Line ("")' means `x Line ""'.
