River Edge

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or edge:

“The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

Listen, little Elia: draw your chair up close to the edge of the precipice and I’ll tell you a story.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
