Water Quotes - Page 66

Is not a patron one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help?

Quoted in James Boswell, The Life of Samuel Johnson (1791) (letter to Lord Chesterfield, 7 Feb. 1755)

Mud unto mud!--Death eddies near-- Not here the appointed End, not here! But somewhere, beyond Space and Time, Is wetter water, slimier slime!

Rupert Brooke (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Rupert Brooke (Illustrated)”, p.45, Delphi Classics

The water has a Water that is driving it; The spirit has a Spirit that is Calling it.
