Nile Valley

Famous quotes containing the words nile and/or valley:

“Hard by the lilied Nile I saw
A duskish river dragon stretched along.
The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
No bigger than a mouse;”

“There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet;”
