Famous quotes containing the words river and/or mouth:

    “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)

    “Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you,
    trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it as many of your
    players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
