White River Flows

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

    “And to your more bewitching, see the proud,
    Plump bed bear up, and swelling like a cloud,
    Tempting the two too modest; can
    Ye see it brustle like a swan,
    And you be cold
    To meet it when it woos and seems to fold
    The arms to hug you? Throw, throw
    Yourselves into the mighty overflow
    Of that white pride, and drown
    The night with you in floods of down.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “Our trouble is that we drink too much tea. I see in this the slow revenge of the Orient, which has diverted the Yellow River down our throats.”
    —J.B. (John Boynton)

    “Between flattery and admiration there often flows a river of contempt.”
    —Minna Antrim (1861–?)
