Waters

Famous quotes containing the word waters:

“To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;

The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
The cattle huddled on the lea;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“They that goe downe to ‘th sea in ships:
Their busines there to doo
In waters great. The Lords work see,
I’th deep his wonders too.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm CVII (Bay Psalm Book)

“For my desert, I helped myself to a large slice of the Chesuncook woods, and took a hearty draught of its waters with all my senses.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
