Savage River

Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or river:

    I have since written what no tide
    Shall ever wash away, what men
    Unborn shall read o’er ocean wide
    And find Ianthe’s name agen.
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    The murmurs of many a famous river on the other side of the globe reach even to us here, as to more distant dwellers on its banks; many a poet’s stream, floating the helms and shields of heroes on its bosom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
