Famous quotes containing the words total, body and/or water:
“I believe in the total depravity of inanimate things ... the elusiveness of soap, the knottiness of strings, the transitory nature of buttons, the inclination of suspenders to twist and of hooks to forsake their lawful eyes, and cleave only unto the hairs of their hapless owners head.”
—Katharine Walker (18401916)
“Iloves skein upon the ground,
My body in the tomb
Shall leap into the light lost
In my mothers womb.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“I am no Poet here; my pen s the spout,
Where the rain water of my eyes run out,
In pity of that name, whose fate wee see
Thus copied out in griefs Hydrography:
The Muses are not Mer-maids, though upon
His death the Ocean might turn Helicon”
—John Cleveland (16131658)
