Famous quotes containing the words birch and/or river:

    “The birch stripped of its bark, or the charred stump where a tree has been burned down to be made into a canoe,—these are the only traces of man, a fabulous wild man to us. On either side, the primeval forest stretches away uninterrupted to Canada, or to the “South Sea”; to the white man a drear and howling wilderness, but to the Indian a home, adapted to his nature, and cheerful as the smile of the Great Spirit.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The river knows the way to the sea;
    Without a pilot it runs and falls,
    Blessing all lands with its charity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
