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)

“How people used to meet!
starved, intense, the old
Christmas gifts saved up till spring,
and the old plain words,”
