Water QuotesWhat colour are they now, thy quiet waters?
The evening star has brought the evening light,
And filled the river with the green hillside;
The hill-tops waver in the rippling water,
Trembles the absent vine and swells the grape
In thy clear crystal. Thine eyes are springs in whose serene
And silent waters heaven is seen;
Their lashes are the herbs that look
On their young figures in the brook. A little water makes a sea, a small puff of wind a Tempest. By my faith, the water will go to whichever army is more steadfast and more deserving.

Why wilt thou turn away?
The starry floor,
The watery shore,>
Is given thee till the break of day. Inside Im treading waters steady tryna swim ashore. |
