Bathe

Famous quotes containing the word bathe:

    Computer mediation seems to bathe action in a more conditional light: perhaps it happened; perhaps it didn’t. Without the layered richness of direct sensory engagement, the symbolic medium seems thin, flat, and fragile.
    Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

    Go, smiling souls, your new-built cages break,
    In heaven you’ll learn to sing, ere here to speak,
    Nor let the milky fonts that bathe your thirst
    Be your delay;
    The place that calls you hence is, at the worst,
    Milk all the way.
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    A man’s social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he would lie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
