White River Flows

Famous quotes containing the words white, river and/or flows:

    O, white pear,
    your flower-tufts
    thick on the branch
    bring summer and ripe fruits
    in their purple hearts.

    The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide

    The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
