Famous quotes containing the word water:

    “The water never formed to mind or voice,
    Like a body wholly body, fluttering
    Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion
    Made constant cry,”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “It may be that through habit these do best,
    Coming to water clumsily undressed
    Yearly; teaching their children by a sort
    Of clowning; helping the old, too, as they ought.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
