Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or river:
“O singers, resinous and soft your songs
Above the sacred whisper of the pines,
Give virgin lips to cornfield concubines,
Bring dreams of Christ to dusky cane-lipped throngs.”

“but we wish the river had another shore,
some further range of delectable mountains,”
