Rivers

Famous quotes containing the word rivers:

    I would watch the funny people make love the way Maupassant said,
    my youth allowed me the opportunity to hear all those strange
    verbs conjugated in erotic affirmations.
    —Conrad Kent Rivers (1933–1968)

    He who hears the rippling of rivers in these degenerate days will not utterly despair.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No more shall the war cry sever,
    Or the winding rivers be red:
    They banish our anger forever
    When they laurel the graves of our dead!
    Under the sod and the dew,
    Waiting the Judgment Day:—
    Love and tears for the Blue;
    Tears and love for the Gray.
    Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
