River Light

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or light:

“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.

There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)

“And how much longer a story has science
Before she must put out the light on the children
And tell them the rest of the story is dreaming?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
