Water Clocks

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or clocks:

“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)

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