Famous quotes containing the words alligator and/or river:

    “‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “There is a great river this side of Stygia,”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
