Famous quotes containing the words river and/or sable:
“The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Underneath this sable hearse
Lies the subject of all verse:
Sidney’s sister, Pembroke’s mother;
Death ere thou has slain another,
Fair, and learned, and good as she,
Time shall throw a dart at thee.”
—William Browne (1591–1643)
