River Edge

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or edge:

“Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen
As is the razor’s edge invisible.”
