Wash

Famous quotes containing the word wash:

    Not all the water in the rough rude sea
    Can wash the balm off from an anointed king;
    The breath of worldly men cannot depose
    The deputy elected by the Lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Papa died in the gas chamber,
    slipping blue as an undressed minnow,
    gulping in the shower to wash the Jew off him.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The god of this great vast, rebuke these surges,
    Which wash both heaven and hell; and thou that hast
    Upon the winds command, bind them in brass,
    Having called them from the deep! O, still
    Thy deaf’ning dreadful thunders, gently quench
    Thy nimble sulphurous flashes!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
