Red River Settlement

Famous quotes containing the words red, river and/or settlement:

    To-night the winds begin to rise
    And roar from yonder dropping day:
    The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
    The rooks are blown about the skies;

    The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
    The cattle huddled on the lea;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    I journeyed to London, to the timekept City,
    Where the River flows, with foreign flotations.
    There I was told: we have too many churches,
    And too few chop-houses.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    A Settlement is above all a place for enthusiasms, a spot to which those who have a passion for the equalization of human joys and opportunities are early attracted.
    Jane Addams (1860–1935)
