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)

“Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.”
