Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

    There are flood and drouth
    Over the eyes and in the mouth,
    Dead water and dead sand
    Contending for the upper hand.
    The parched eviscerate soil
    Gapes at the vanity of toil,
    Laughs without mirth.
    This is the death of the earth.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Some have at first for wits, then poets passed,
    Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at last.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
