Drowned River

Famous quotes containing the words drowned and/or river:

    The sea called
    you faced the estuary,
    you were drowned as the tide passed.
    I am glad of this
    at least you have escaped.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Other roads do some violence to Nature, and bring the traveler to stare at her, but the river steals into the scenery it traverses without intrusion, silently creating and adorning it, and is as free to come and go as the zephyr.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
