Leaning Water Tower

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

    A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.

    When peaceful clouds were reflected in the paddies
    and the water buffalo stepped surely along terraces,
    maybe fathers told their sons old tales.
    When bombs smashed those mirrors
    there was time only to scream.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The Church disowned, the tower overthrown, the bells upturned, what have we to do
    But stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards
    In an age which advances progressively backwards?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
