Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or skin:
“Waters above! Eternal springs!
The dew that silvers the Dove’s wings!

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)

shall cover you,
nor curtain of crimson nor fine
shelter of cedar-wood be over you,
nor the fir-tree
nor the pine.”
