Surrounding Water

Famous quotes containing the words surrounding and/or water:

“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“—the main jet
Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest

In the act of rising, until
The very wish of water is reversed,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
