Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

    The mighty river flowing dark and deep,
    With ebb and flood from the remote sea-tides
    Vague-sounding through the City’s sleepless sleep,
    Is named the River of the Suicides;
    James Thomson (1834–1882)

    I sat upon the shore
    Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
    Shall I at least set my lands in order?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
