Floods

Famous quotes containing the word floods:

    the cold eternal shores
    That look sheer down
    To the dark tideless floods of Nothingness
    Where all who know may drown.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Poor verdant fool, and now green ice! thy joys,
    Large and as lasting as thy perch of grass,
    Bid us lay in ‘gainst winter rain, and poise
    Their floods with an o’erflowing glass.
    Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)

    Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together.
    Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth; with
    righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm XCVIII (l. XCVIII, 8–9)
