Famous quotes containing the words brooks, water and/or features:

    As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    The water never formed to mind or voice,
    Like a body wholly body, fluttering
    Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion
    Made constant cry,
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
