Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or river:

    “Simile and Metaphor differ only in degree of stylistic refinement. The Simile, in which a comparison is made directly between two objects, belongs to an earlier stage of literary expression; it is the deliberate elaboration of a correspondence, often pursued for its own sake. But a Metaphor is the swift illumination of an equivalence. Two images, or an idea and an image, stand equal and opposite; clash together and respond significantly, surprising the reader with a sudden light.”
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    “Up a lazy river by the old mill run, that lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun.”
    —Sidney Arodin, U.S. songwriter. “Lazy River,” Peer International Corp. (1931)
