Pleasant River Watershed

Famous quotes containing the words pleasant and/or river:

“I am going to my own hearthstone,
Bosom’d in yon green hills alone—
A secret nook in a pleasant land,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
