Famous quotes containing the word wet:

Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”

—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

“A bone,
polished in wet and sun,
worried of wild beaks,
and of the whelps’ teeth
worried of flesh,
left to bleach under the sun.”
