Famous quotes containing the words bridges, river and/or thames:

    “There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    ““I’ll love you dear, I’ll love you
    Till China and Africa meet,
    And the river jumps over the mountain
    And the salmon sing in the street.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “I wander thro’ each charter’d street,
    Near where the charter’d Thames does flow,
    And mark in every face I meet
    Marks of weakness, marks of woe.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
