Famous quotes containing the words roots, men, toilet and/or water:

    The roots of the grass strain,
    Tighten, the earth is rigid, waits—he is waiting—

    And suddenly, and all at once, the rain!
    Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    If men must beg to live,
    May the Creator also go wandering and perish.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    When a daughter tries suicide
    and the chimney falls down like a drunk
    and the dog chews her tail off
    and the kitchen blows up its shiny kettle
    and the vacuum cleaner swallows its bag
    and the toilet washes itself in tears ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
