Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

Threat’ning with deluge this devoted town.
To shops in crowds the daggled females fly,
Pretend to cheapen goods, but nothing buy.”

“I might show facts as plain as day:
But, since your eyes are blind, you’d say,
“Where? What?” and turn away.”
