There's a boy across the river with an ass like a peach alas I was no swimmer and lost my Clementine.
William S. Burroughs
Image
Now God be thanked that the name of a hill is such music, that the name of a river can heal.
Alan Paton
Image
I keep drawing the trees, the rocks, the river, I'm still learning how to see them I'm still discovering how to render their forms. I will spend a lifetime doing that. Maybe someday I'll get it right.
Alan Lee
Image
Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!'
William Shakespeare
Image
The moon glows on the river, wind rustles the pines. Long night clear evening--what are they for?
Ueda Akinari

Tonight we water our horses in the Tennessee River.
Albert Sidney Johnston

The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.
Al-Ghazali

You and I can turn and look at the silent river and wait. We know the current is there, hidden and there are comings and goings from miles away that hold the stillness exactly before us. What the river says, that is what I say.
William Stafford
Image
Even the upper end of the river believes in the ocean.
William Stafford

I was working with mud and photographs and thread, eyelashes, carrots and acetone... I was throwing radios off buildings and... remember floating styrofoam commas down the Milwaukee River.
William Wegman
Image
The river route is certainly preferable, as it affords good grazing and an abundance of water.
William Whipple
Image
I'm drowning in whiskey river.
Willie Nelson

The study of an idea is, of necessity, the story of many things. Ideas, like large rivers, never have just one source. Just as the water of a river near its mouth, in its final form, is composed largely of many tributaries, so an idea, in its final form, is composed largely of later additions.
Willy Ley

I think I'm just a traveler. When you walk across a river and there's no bridge, you build one. I'm used to having to deal with Chinese Communist ideology - it's not really an ideology, but a method of control. But China's problems are not just China's problems - they're human problems. Humanity has always worked better when you see it as one.
Ai Weiwei
Image
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language-river. Listen to the ocean, and bring your talky business to an end. Traditional words are just babbling in that presence, and babbling is a substitute for sight.
Rumi
Image
What you give away comes back to you in a river.
Robin Sharma

[Photography] has become more and more subtle, more and more modern, and the result is that it is now incapable of photographing a tenement or a rubbish heap without transfiguring it. Not to mention a river dam or electric cable factory: in front of these, photography can now only say, How beautiful!
Walter Benjamin
Image
The energy that moves life is the force of the Feminine. She is unstoppable. She is the source of all life, the mover of blood, the breather of breath, the flow of the river's water. The Feminine is life. We can feel Her moving and living in any moment we are open to Her, or as Her.
David Deida
Image
Sometimes we would be staked out in the middle of the river, several barges tied together. So we could party.
Terry Southern
Image
Ultimately, however, as the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter pointed out, a powerful bureaucratic class is in the same relation to commerce as was the scorpion in Aesop to the dog on whose back he crossed the river. They will destroy commerce and establish socialism, even if it kills them, because that is their nature.
John Derbyshire
Image
In the spring rain, The pond and the river Have become one.
Yosa Buson
Image
I could as easily bail out the Potomac River with a teaspoon as attend to all the details of the army.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Begin, be bold, and venture to be wise, He who defers this work from day to day, Does on a river's bank expecting stay, Till the whole stream, which stopped him, should be gone, That runs, and as it runs, for ever will run on.
Abraham Cowley

Some writers later, describing the events of that night and day, wrote that Wan'yen of the Altai had seen a spirit-dragon of the river and become afraid. Writers do that sort of thing. They like dragons in their tales.
