Famous quotes containing the words river and/or mouth:

    “The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot from the northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you see much less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience of the batteau and the boatman’s life.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “All eager-lipped I kissed the mouth of Death.”
    —Gwendolyn B. Bennett (1902–1981)
