River Beds

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or beds:

“the folk-lore
Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”

“Nature in darkness groans
And men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night:
Restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain
Feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words
Of stern philosophy & knead the bread of knowledge with tears & groans.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
