Famous quotes containing the words river and/or diversion:
“Hard by the lilied Nile I saw
A duskish river dragon stretched along.
The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
No bigger than a mouse;”
—Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
“If our condition were truly happy, we would not need diversion from thinking of it in order to make ourselves happy.”
