Famous quotes containing the word flood:

    “So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamor
    With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
    Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
