White River Badlands

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or river:

    Then came Corinna in a long loose gown,
    Her white neck hid with tresses hanging down,
    Resembling fair Semiramis going to bed,
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
