Liquid Water

Famous quotes containing the words liquid and/or water:

““Awake,
My fairest, my espoused, my latest found,
Heaven’s last best gift, my ever new delight,
Awake, the morning shines, and the fresh field
Calls us: we lose the prime, to mark how spring
Our tended plants, how blows the citron grove,
What drops the myrrh and what the balmy reed,
How nature paints her colors, how the bee
Sits on the bloom extracting liquid sweet.””
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“—the main jet
Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest

In the act of rising, until
The very wish of water is reversed,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
