Muddy Cove Brook

Famous quotes containing the words muddy and/or brook:

“The muddy rivers of spring
Are snarling
Under the muddy skies.
The mind is muddy.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“This sand seemed to us the connecting link between land and water. It was a kind of water on which you could walk, and you could see the ripple-marks on its surface, produced by the winds, precisely like those at the bottom of a brook or lake. We had read that Mussulmans are permitted by the Koran to perform their ablutions in sand when they cannot get water, a necessary indulgence in Arabia, and we now understand the propriety of this provision.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
