River Parkway Crosses

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or crosses:

“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)

“When an American heiress wants to buy a man, she at once crosses the Atlantic. The only really materialistic people I have ever met have been Europeans.”
