Famous quotes containing the words river and/or burn:

    “It is ... despair at the mutability of all created things that links the Artist and the Ascetic—a desire to purify and preserve—to set oneself apart—somehow—from the river flowing onward to the grave.”
    —Michele Murray (1933–1974)

    “And though thou notest from thy safe recess
    Old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air
    Love them for what they are; nor love them less,
    Because to thee they are not what they were.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
