Floods

Famous quotes containing the word floods:

“When raging love with extreme pain
Most cruelly distrains my heart,
When that my tears, as floods of rain,
Bear witness of my woeful smart;
When sighs have wasted so my breath
That I lie at the point of death,”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

That look sheer down
To the dark tideless floods of Nothingness
Where all who know may drown.”
