Flood Plain

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or plain:

    “So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamor
    With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour
    Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast
    Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Women are hard and proud and stubborn-hearted,
    Their heads being turned with praise and flattery;
    And that is why their lovers are afraid
    To tell them a plain story.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
