Wet

Famous quotes containing the word wet:

“The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The great secret is no secret
Senses fit the winds,
Visible is visible,
rain-mist curtains wave through the bearded vale,
grey atoms wet the wind’s Kaballah”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

“Like a wet log, I sang within a flame.
In that last while, eternity’s confine,
I came to love, I came into my own.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
