Mark Twain
1626 citations

Now when I had mastered the language of this water, and had come to know every trifling feature that bordered the great river as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet, I had made a valuable acquisition. But I had lost something, too. I had lost something which could never be restored me while I lived. All the grace, the beauty, the poetry, had gone out of the majestic river! ✨ Mark Twain, Milton Meltzer (2002). Mark Twain Himself: A Pictorial Biography, p.35, University of Missouri Press
