Devils River

Famous quotes containing the words devils and/or river:

“Divinity of hell!
When devils will the blackest sins put on,
They do suggest at first with heavenly shows,
As I do now.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
