Fork Roanoke River

Famous quotes containing the words fork and/or river:

“Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
