River Styx

Famous quotes containing the words river and/or styx:

    I journeyed to London, to the timekept City,
    Where the River flows, with foreign flotations.
    There I was told: we have too many churches,
    And too few chop-houses.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    In your presence, I swear by the Styx and the Acheron never more to wear glasses on my bonnet, nor a codpiece on my breeches, until, concerning my undertaking, I have heard the word of the Divine Bottle.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
