Domestic Hot Water

Famous quotes containing the words hot water, domestic, hot and/or water:

    As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
    When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
    So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
    O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    The most domestic cat, which has lain on a rug all her days, appears quite at home in the woods, and, by her sly and stealthy behavior, proves herself more native there than the regular inhabitants.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Too often when you thought you’d be showered with confetti
    What they flung at you was a plate of hot spaghetti
    You’ve put your fancy clothes and flashy gems in hock
    Yet you pause before your father’s door afraid to knock
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The night was thick and hazy
    When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
    Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
    And I think the water downed ‘em;
    For they never, never found ‘em,
    And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.
    Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
