Famous quotes containing the word water:

    “For months it hasn’t known the taste of steel
    Washed down with rusty water in a tin.
    But standing outdoors hungry, in the cold,
    Except in towns at night, is not a sin.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The water for which we may have to look
    In summertime with a witching wand,
    In every wheelrut’s now a brook,
    In every print of a hoof a pond.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
