Water Hemlock

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or hemlock:

“At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles. But it rains cats and dogs in the mountains, and towards afternoon, the water descends wildly and she ravages all in its path, the madwoman. That is how death comes. Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

“The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
