River Edge

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or edge:

“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.

There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)

“Imprudence relies on luck, prudence on method. That gives prudence less edge than it expects.”
