Push Water

Famous quotes containing the words push and/or water:

“Our enemies have beat us to the pit.

Than tarry till they push us.”

Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.

The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
