Famous quotes containing the words nelson and/or river:

    “The victors and the vanquished then the storm it tossed and tore,
    As hard they strove, those worn-out men, upon that surly shore;
    Dead Nelson and his half-dead crew, his foes from near and far,
    Were rolled together on the deep that night at Trafalgar!”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “We are bare. We are stripped to the bone
    and we swim in tandem and go up and up
    the river, the identical river called Mine
    and we enter together. No one’s alone.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
