Famous quotes containing the words river and/or edge:
“Ask me no more: thy fate and mine are sealed;

Let the great river take me to the main.
No more, dear love, for at a touch I yield;
Ask me no more.”

“It was her stern necessity: all things
Are of one pattern made; bird, beast, and flower,
Deceive us, seeming to be many things,
And are but one. Beheld far off, they differ
As God and devil; bring them to the mind,
They dull its edge with their monotony.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
