Famous quotes containing the words roaring, brook and/or lake:

    “they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands,

    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “The only house
    Beyond where they were was a shattered seedpod.
    And below roared a brook hidden in trees,
    The sound of which was silence for the place.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Will lovely, lively, virginal today
    Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
    This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
    By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”
    —Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
