Quotes About Environment

Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?

You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.

Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
