Famous quotes containing the word water:

    “When peaceful clouds were reflected in the paddies
    and the water buffalo stepped surely along terraces,
    maybe fathers told their sons old tales.
    When bombs smashed those mirrors
    there was time only to scream.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
