Leaning Water Tower

Famous quotes containing the words leaning, water and/or tower:

    And then I ran to get away,
    But when I stopped and turned to see,
    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.
    Elizabeth Madox Roberts (1880–1941)

    The water which supports a boat can also sink it.
    Chinese proverb.

    Resignedly beneath the sky
    The melancholy waters lie.
    So blend the turrets and shadows there
    That all seem pendulous in air,
    While from a proud tower in the town
    Death looks gigantically down.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
