Famous quotes containing the words river and/or axe:

    Of sun and moon and hollow and wood
    And river and stream work out their will....”

    In this America, this wilderness
    Where the axe echoes with a lonely sound,
    The generations labor to possess
    And grave by grave we civilize the ground.”
    —Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
