Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or springs:

    “The forest waves, the morning breaks,
    The pastures sleep, ripple the lakes,
    Leaves twinkle, flowers like persons be
    And life pulsates in rock or tree.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
