Water Level Route

Famous quotes containing the words water, level and/or route:

    “—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)

    “I love thee to the level of everyday’s
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “By a route obscure and lonely,
    Haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an eidolon, named Night,
    On a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly
    From an ultimate dim Thule—
    From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
    Out of space—out of time.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
