Water Clocks

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or clocks:

    The night was thick and hazy
    When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
    Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
    And I think the water downed ‘em;
    For they never, never found ‘em,
    And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.
    Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    It was a bright, cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
