Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

“Hearing the low sound
of a cloud scattering rain
at midnight
and thinking for an eternity
on his absent young wife,
a traveller heaved a sigh
and with a flood of tears
howled the whole night long.
Now, villagers won’t let him stay
in their place anymore.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

“When love begins to sicken and decay
It useth an enforcèd ceremony.
There are no tricks in plain and simple faith.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
