Red Cliffs

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or cliffs:

“Where the slow river
meets the tide,
a red swan lifts red wings
and darker beak.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
