Famous quotes containing the word water:

    “The senseless drowned
    Have faces nobody would care to see,
    But water loves those gradual erasures
    Of flesh and shoreline, greenery and glass,”
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)

    “I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
    The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
    The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
    All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
