White River Flows

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

    The white hive is snug as a virgin,
    Sealing off her brood cells, her honey, and quietly humming.

    Smoke rolls and scarves in the grove.
    The mind of the hive thinks this is the end of everything.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    The river sweats
    Oil and tar
    The barges drift
    With the turning tide
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Through this broad street, restless ever,
    Ebbs and flows a human tide,
    Wave on wave a living river;
    Wealth and fashion side by side;
    Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
