Famous quotes containing the words water and/or act:
“We wished our two souls
might return like gulls
to the rock. In the end,
the water was too cold for us.”

“but when lust
By unchaste looks, loose gestures, and foul talk,
But most by lewd and lavish act of sin,
Lets in defilement to the inward parts,
The soul grows clotted by contagion,
Imbodies, and imbrutes, till she quite loose
The divine property of her first being.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
