Famous quotes containing the words willow and/or river:

    “Ah! I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
