Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or river:

    “Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “the folk-lore
    Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
    The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
