River Edge

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or edge:

“I counted two and seventy stenches,
All well defined and several stinks!
Ye Nymphs that reign o’er sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, Nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
