River Rises

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or rises:

“The river knows the way to the sea;
Without a pilot it runs and falls,
Blessing all lands with its charity.”

As rests the blossom on the loaded bough;
And each deep-drawn breath is redolent
Of all the folded flowers’ mingled scent
That rises in confused rapture now.”
