Water Ice

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or ice:

“When peaceful clouds were reflected in the paddies
and the water buffalo stepped surely along terraces,
maybe fathers told their sons old tales.
When bombs smashed those mirrors
there was time only to scream.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“Suddenly I saw the cold and rook-delighting heaven
That seemed as though ice burned and was but the more ice,”
