Oxley Wild Rivers

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or rivers:

    A township where one primitive forest waves above while another primitive forest rots below,—such a town is fitted to raise not only corn and potatoes, but poets and philosophers for the coming ages. In such a soil grew Homer and Confucius and the rest, and out of such a wilderness comes the Reformer eating locusts and wild honey.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, then we remembered Zion.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXXXVII (l. CXXXVII, 1)
