Famous quotes containing the words river and/or forest:
“Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water.

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Nature has from the first expanded the minute blossoms of the forest only toward the heavens, above mens heads and unobserved by them. We see only the flowers that are under our feet in the meadows.”
