Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or river:

    “Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
