Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or nile:

    Surely you wouldn’t grudge the poor old man
    Some humble way to save his self-respect.

    He meant to clear the upper pasture, too.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Hard by the lilied Nile I saw
    A duskish river dragon stretched along.
    The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
    With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
    And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
    No bigger than a mouse;
    Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
