River Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or bridge:

    “I counted two and seventy stenches,
    All well defined and several stinks!
    Ye Nymphs that reign o’er sewers and sinks,
    The river Rhine, it is well known,
    Doth wash your city of Cologne;
    But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
    Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “I see four nuns
    who sit like a bridge club,
    their faces poked out
    from under their habits,”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
