Water Raising

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or raising:

    By constant dripping, water hollows stone,
    A signet-ring from use alone grows thin,
    And the curved plowshare by soft earth is worn.

    One thinks of all the hands
    That are raising dingy shades
    In a thousand furnished rooms.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
