Famous quotes containing the words wye and/or valley:
“The Wye is hushd nor moved along,
And hushd my deepest grief of all,
When filld with tears that cannot fall,
I brim with sorrow drowning song.”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
