Waters

Famous quotes containing the word waters:

“So God stepped over to the edge of the world
And He spat out the seven seas;

He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled;
And the waters above the earth came down,
The cooling waters came down.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

What dreadful noise of waters in my ears!
What sights of ugly death within my eyes!”
