Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or skin:
“Waters above! Eternal springs!
The dew that silvers the Dove’s wings!
O welcome, welcome to the sad:
Give dry dust drink, drink that makes glad!
Many fair ev’nings, many flow’rs
Sweetened with rich and gentle showers,
Have I enjoyed,”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“At first I said, “I will not bear
His cross upon my back;
He only seeks to place it there
Because my skin is black.””
