Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or bed:
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Its bed is left a faded paper sheet
Of dead leaves stuck together by the heat
A brook to none but who remember long.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
