Famous quotes containing the words wash and/or water:

    “the gentleness of wine in his fingertips,
    where do these hands come from?
    I was born a glass baby and nobody picked me up
    except to wash the dust off me.
    He has picked me up and licked me alive.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “When peaceful clouds were reflected in the paddies
    and the water buffalo stepped surely along terraces,
    maybe fathers told their sons old tales.
    When bombs smashed those mirrors
    there was time only to scream.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
