Uinta Water Lily

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or lily:

    “All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “O ruddier than the cherry,
    O sweeter than the berry,
    O Nymph more bright
    Than moonshine night,
    Like kidlings blithe and merry.
    Ripe as the melting cluster,
    No lily has such lustre,
    Yet hard to tame,
    As raging flame,
    And fierce as storms that bluster.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)
