Oxley Wild Rivers

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or rivers:

    “Because I am mad about women
    I am mad about the hills,”
    Said that wild old wicked man
    Who travels where God wills....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    No more shall the war cry sever,
    Or the winding rivers be red:
    They banish our anger forever
    When they laurel the graves of our dead!
    Under the sod and the dew,
    Waiting the Judgment Day:—
    Love and tears for the Blue;
    Tears and love for the Gray.
    Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
