Famous quotes containing the words pine and/or river:
“The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree seems to wait, and neither with impatience:Mthey give no thought to the little people below them whose impatience and curiosity eat them up alive.”

In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
Theres a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped cleana river dried to its bed”
