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)

“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”
