White River Flows

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

    “It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    But not luck
    brought us here. By design
    clear air and cold wind polish
    the river lights, by design
    we are to live now in a new place.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    All things change, nothing is extinguished.... There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
