Underground River

Famous quotes containing the words underground and/or river:

    An underground grower, blind and a common brown;
    Got a misshapen look, it’s nudged where it could;
    Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
