Water Closets

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or closets:

“A single monk carries his own bucket of water; two monks carry their bucket of water together; but when there are three monks, there is no water at all.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Beautiful glooms, soft dusks in the noon-day fire,—
Wildwood privacies, closets of lone desire,
Chamber from chamber parted with wavering arras of leaves,—
Cells for the passionate pleasure of prayer to the soul that grieves,
Pure with a sense of the passing of saints through the wood,
Cool for the dutiful weighing of ill with good;—”
—Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)
