Water Clocks

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or clocks:

    Rock of ages, cleft for me,
    Let me hide myself in thee!
    Let the water and the blood,
    From thy riven side which flowed,
    Be of sin the double cure;
    Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.
    Augustus Montague Toplady (1740–1778)

    It was a bright, cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
