Famous quotes containing the words wash and/or water:

    “Now mark me how I will undo myself.
    I give this heavy weight from off my head,
    And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
    The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.
    With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
    With mine own hands I give away my crown.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
    The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
    The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
    All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
