Famous quotes containing the words water, storage, tanks, rock and/or caverns:

    But sound of water over a rock
    Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
    Drip drop drip drop drop drop drop
    But there is no water
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Today, almost forty years later, I grow dizzy when I recall that the number of manufactured tanks seems to have been more important to me than the vanished victims of racism.
    Albert Speer (1905–1981)

    There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:2.

    ... the bold care of an ecstatic trull
    Who rearranges with impartial feet
    The silence in the caverns of a skull.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
