Surface Waters

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or waters:

    We tend to be so bombarded with information, and we move so quickly, that there’s a tendency to treat everything on the surface level and process things quickly. This is antithetical to the kind of openness and perception you have to have to be receptive to poetry. ... poetry seems to exist in a parallel universe outside daily life in America.
    Rita Dove (b. 1952)

    How doth the little crocodile
    Improve his shining tale,
    And pour the waters of the Nile
    On every golden scale!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
