Waters

Famous quotes containing the word waters:

    As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: so man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

    Only one ship is seeking us a black- Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back
    A huge and birdless silence. In her wake
    No waters breed or break.

    Light breaks where no sun shines;
    Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart
    Push in their tides;
