	Rhine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rhine canyon (Ruinaulta) in Graubünden in Switzerland
		Since the Rhine flows from the Alps, a precondition of its existence is the uplifting of the Alps, which began in the Alpine Orogeny.
		These highlands helped to divert the Rhine to the west; however, the Rhine's course is set by the Rhine graben, a rift that opened in the Eocene and Oligocene periods between the western Alps and the central Alps, caused by their moving in slightly different directions.

	Rhine - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Rhine rises in the mountains of the Swiss canton of the Grisons, and flows for 233 m.
		In Roman times the Rhine at this part of its course seems to have been a full and flowing river, but by the 9th century it had lost itself in the sands of Katwijk, and it was not until the beginning of the 19th century that its way to the sea was re-opened.
		The Rhine has been one of the chief waterways of Europe from the earliest times; and, as its channel is not exposed to the danger of silting up like those of the Elbe and the Oder, it has always been comparatively easy to keep it open.

	Leiden - LoveToKnow 1911
		LEIDEN or Leyden, a city in the province of South Holland, the kingdom of the Netherlands, on the Old Rhine, and a junction station 18 m.
		The two branches of the Rhine which enter Leiden on the east unite in the centre of the town, which is further intersected by numerous small and sombre canals, with tree-bordered quays and old houses.
		Of the numerous churches the chief are the Hooglandsche Kerk, or the church of St Pancras, built in the 15th century and restored in 18851 9 02, containing the monument of Pieter Andriaanszoon van der Werf, and the Pieterskerk (1315) with monuments to Scaliger, Boerhaave and other famous scholars.

	Rhine. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		At Basel the Rhine becomes the Upper Rhine of the Germans and turns sharply N to Mainz across the broad-floored Rhine rift valley, a large graben, or down-faulted block, between the Black Forest and the Vosges Mts.
		A third distributary, known as the Crooked Rhine, leads to Utrecht and continues west to the sea as the Old Rhine; it is linked with Amsterdam by the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal and thence by the North Sea Canal to the North Sea.
		The Rhine was declared free to international navigation in 1868, and in 1919 navigation of the river between Basel and Krimpen, on the Lek, and Gorinchem, on the Waal, was placed under the authority of the Central Rhine Commission, with headquarters at Strasbourg.

		The Ill, which wanders tranquilly through the old heart of Strasbourg before decanting into the Rhine some distance to the northeast, seems made for a medieval city—small enough for little humpback bridges, tame enough for swans, quiet enough to hear the plink of a briefly surfacing fish.
		Particularly around the old quarter known as Petite France, where the river divides into a series of short canals, green and mirror-smooth, it perfectly complements the cobbled lanes and picturesque jostle of steep-roofed houses, their white facades knitted together with squares and X's of fl timbers.
		The 50-mile cruise through the Rhine gorge, where the river passes between dark, enclosing hills liberally sprinkled with castles, is the high point of the trip, and it was evident that many of my fellow passengers had over-imbibed and were not feeling their best.

	Rhine-Meuse delta studies
		Rhine discharge is divided among three distributaries: Waal (6/9 of total discharge), Nederrijn-Lek (2/9) and IJssel (1/9).
		The Rhine has a mixed snowmelt and rainfall discharge, with a peak discharge in the spring and a smaller peak during the early summer.
		The damming of the Old Rhine distributary and some other channels, like the Hollandse IJssel (1285 AD) and the Linge (1307 AD), reduced the number of Rhine distributary to the present three, and there was a tendency for the main flow to shift southwestwards.

		Rhine struck suddenly in the 4th minute, taking a pass from teammate Antonio Martinez at the midfield stripe and dribbling 40-yards into the Colorado penalty area.
		In the 17th minute Rhine doubled the lead when he received a pass from teammate Oscar Pareja and dribbled more than 20-yards unchallenged before uncorking a 30-yard rocket that zipped past diving Colorado goalkeeper Scott Garlick into the upper left hand corner of the goal.
		The 26-year-old Rhine turned playmaker on the Burn’s third goal, when his curling cross from the left wing was finished by teammate Jason Kreis.

	[No title]
		The history of the Rhine basin is a complicated and uneven one, chiefly consisting in the rapid and perplexing rise and fall of dynasties and the alternate confiscation of one or both banks of the devoted stream to the empires of France or Germany.
		Their chief object in colonizing the Rhine territory was to form an effective barrier between themselves and the restless barbarian tribes of the Teutonic North, the constant menace of whose invasion lay as a canker at the heart of rich and fruitful Italy.
		The old prelate assured her that she would not be judged harshly, but begged to hear from her own lips that she was innocent of the foul charge brought against her.

	Talk:Rhine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cognate of Rhine is old Irish rian ("the sea"), but there are no cognates in modern Celtic languages.
		One of the Rhine's mouths is the IJssel, but no Maas/Meuse water flows there, for instance.
		I would argue however that it makes no sense to separate the Rhine basin from the Meuse basin (to which basin does the area of the shared delta belong?!).

	Wilhelm Ruland. Legends of the Rhine. The old Knight and his Daughters
		Both were wrapped in their knightly mantles, and in spite of his troubles the hospitable lord of the castle prepared to welcome his guests.
		And when the old knight, trembling with excitement, demanded who this impious and dishonourable man might be, the Emperor murmured the words, "My son," and then buried his face in his hands.
		Towards midnight the unhappy monarch was conducted to a room prepared with care for his reception; and, while he sank into a troubled sleep, the old knight overwhelmed his daughters with long-delayed caresses.

	- Chapter 3
		There was the Rhine, all right, like it was supposed to be, only it was blue, blue as the sky, bluer than the goddam sky, not the color the water in a toilet bowl is when somebody gets there just in the nick of time.
		Old Regin Fafnirsbruder had said Brunhild was my only chance of doing that, and she'd said I was supposed to guard her back even though I didn't know what the hell I was supposed to do if somebody did go and jump on her.
		I bet she laid down on that old sofa again and fell asleep waiting for old Sieg-whatever to get done with whatever he was doing and come around to give her a call.

		Good old-fashioned "Rhine Street Wine" is a red table wine made sweet with a base of Concord and a blend of Catawba, Niagara or Delaware.
		During those long, cold days of winter when the vines are pruned, a light snack would be a glass of wine and a loaf of bread to warm the body and soul, making those bitter cold days just a little more bearable.
		This bottle of wine is dedicated to the families who tended their hillside vines and to those who nurtured the barrels of Rhine Street Red in their basements.
