Famous quotes containing the word river:

    “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)
