Water Skin

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or skin:

    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)

    All we need is a meteorologist who has once been soaked to the skin without ill effect. No one can write knowingly of the weather who walks bent over on wet days.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
