River Beds

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or beds:

“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”

“Nature in darkness groans
And men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night:
Restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain
Feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words
Of stern philosophy & knead the bread of knowledge with tears & groans.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
