Spray Falls

Water is present in the study of English as well as in other aspects of our everyday lives.  Since the beginning of time, people have been facinated by the tranquility and balance that it provides to our lives.  I have compiled a selection of books and quotes inspired by water.  Here you will read how others have reacted to the effects of water and what it means to them.  Enjoy!

"Everywhere water is a thing of beauty gleaming in the dewdrop, singing in the summer rain."
- John Ballentine Gough, c. 1850
 
"A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable."   
-William Wordsworth

The sea pronounces something, over and over, in a hoarse whisper; I cannot quite make it out. 
-Annie Dillard
 
Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war. 
-Loren Eiseley
