Water Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or baptism:

“—the main jet
Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest

In the act of rising, until
The very wish of water is reversed,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.”
