Famous quotes containing the word river:

    “There are knives that glitter like altars
    In a dark church
    Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
    To be healed.

    There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
    Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
    —Charles Simic (b. 1938)
