Fall River State

Famous quotes containing the words fall, river and/or state:

    The morning rose, that untouched stands
    Armed with her briars, how sweet she smells!
    But plucked and strained through ruder hands,
    Her sweets no longer with her dwells,
    But scent and beauty both are gone,
    And leaves fall from her, one by one.
    Sir Robert Ayton (1570–1638)

    The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    My facts shall be falsehoods to the common sense. I would so state facts that they shall be significant, shall be myths or mythologic. Facts which the mind perceived, thoughts which the body thought—with these I deal.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
