Flood Lock

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or lock:

“Hearing the low sound
of a cloud scattering rain
at midnight
and thinking for an eternity
on his absent young wife,
a traveller heaved a sigh
and with a flood of tears
howled the whole night long.
Now, villagers won’t let him stay
in their place anymore.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

“Don’t lock me in wedlock, I want
marriage, an
encounter....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
