Famous quotes containing the word rivers:

    “Thy summer voice, Musketaquit,
    Repeats the music of the rain;
    But sweeter rivers pulsing flit
    Through thee, as thou through Concord Plain.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The whole tree itself is but one leaf, and rivers are still vaster leaves whose pulp is intervening earth, and towns and cities are the ova of insects in their axils.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
