Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

    The flood subsides, and the body, like a worn sea-shell
    emerges strange and lovely.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
    Such was their luster, they did so excel,
    That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
    My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
    Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
    Decking the sense as if it were to sell.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
