Famous quotes containing the words water and/or summer:

    “But the beggar gazes on calamity
    And thereafter he belongs to it, to bread
    Hard found, and water tasting of misery.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Taffeta phrases, silken phrases precise,
    Three-piled hyperbole, spruce affectation,
    Figures pedantical—these summer flies
    Have blown me full of maggot ostentation.
    I do forswear them.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
