Flood Walls

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or walls:

    The mighty river flowing dark and deep,
    With ebb and flood from the remote sea-tides
    Vague-sounding through the City’s sleepless sleep,
    Is named the River of the Suicides;

    The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts.
