Famous quotes containing the words river and/or burn:

    “Hard by the lilied Nile I saw
    A duskish river dragon stretched along.
    The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
    With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
    And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
    No bigger than a mouse;”
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    “Lucky Man,
    be sure of this.
    Your crimes
    don’t burn me
    as much as these clever words
    empty of all good feeling.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
