Famous quotes containing the words water and/or hammers:
“I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“Most of the stone a nation hammers goes toward its tomb only. It buries itself alive.”
