Water Clocks

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or clocks:

“‘Tis not enough on roots and in the mouth,

In all the passion of a broken drouth.”

“What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the day? Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the
tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored
taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous
to demand the time of the day.”
