Forked River

Famous quotes containing the words forked and/or river:

“Sometimes we see a cloud that’s dragonish,
A vapor sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory
With trees upon ‘t that nod unto the world
And mock our eyes with air. Thou hast seen these signs;
They are black vesper’s pageants.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The river sweats
Oil and tar
The barges drift
With the turning tide”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
