Alton Wood River

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or river:

“In the wood he travels glad,
Without better fortune had,
Melancholy without bad.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night. This, like most of the localities bearing names on this road, was a place to name which, in the midst of the unnamed and unincorporated wilderness, was to make a distinction without a difference, it seemed to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
