Scarce Water

Famous quotes containing the words scarce and/or water:

    Man hath still either toys or care:
    But hath no root, nor to one place is tied,
    But ever restless and irregular,
    About this earth doth run and ride.
    He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where;
    He says it is so far,
    That he has quite forgot how to go there.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    It is moot whether there be divinities
    As I finish this play by Webster:
    The street-cars are still running however
    And the katharsis fades in the warm water of a yawn.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
