Famous quotes containing the words water, mist and/or systems:
“Tis not enough on roots and in the mouth,
But give me water heavy on the head
In all the passion of a broken drouth.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Hast ou fashioned so airy a mood
To draw up leaf from the root?
Hast ou found a cloud so light
As seemed neither mist nor shade?”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
