Famous quotes containing the words roaring, brook and/or lake:

    “he changed and ran
    Through many shapes; I lunged at the smooth throat
    Of a great eel; it changed, and I but smote
    A fir-tree roaring in its leafless top;
    And thereupon I drew the livid chop
    Of a drowned dripping body to my breast....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A brook that was the water of the house,
    Cold as a spring as yet so near its source,
    Too lofty and original to rage.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Like a canoe route across the great lake on whose shore
    One is left trapped, grumbling not so much at bad luck as
    Because only this one side of experience is ever revealed.
    And that meant something.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
