Zambezi/climate

Famous quotes containing the words zambezi and/or climate:

    When the
    Marne flowed by the plants nodded
    And above the glistering Gila
    A sunset as beautiful as the Athabasca
    Stammered. The Zambezi chimed. The Oxus
    Flowed somewhere.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Then climate is a great impediment to idle persons; we often resolve to give up the care of the weather, but still we regard the clouds and the rain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
