| | | Water Fountains and Waterfalls Quotes page 4Page four of water fountains and waterfalls quotes | Ever charming, ever new,
When will the landscape tire the view!
The fountain’s fall, the river’s flow,
The woody valleys, warm and low;
The windy summit, wild and high,
Roughly rushing on the sky!
The pleasant seat, the ruined tow’r,
The naked rock, the shady bow’r;
The town and village, dome and farm,
Each give each a double charm,
As pearls upon an Ethiop’s arm. - John Dyer Attribution: John Dyer (1699–1758), Welsh poet. Grongar Hill. . . Norton Anthology of Poetry, The. Alexander W. Allison and others, eds. (3d ed., 1983) W. W. Norton & Company.
Eternall God, O thou that onely art
The sacred Fountain of eternall light,
And blessed Loadstone of my better part;
O thou my heart’s desire, my soul’s delight,
Reflect upon my soul, and touch my heart,
And then my heart shall prize no good above thee;
And then my soul shall know thee; knowing, love thee;
And then my trembling thoughts shall never start
From thy commands, or swerve the least degree,
Or once presume to move, but as they move in thee. - Francis Quarles Attribution: Francis Quarles (1592–1644), British poet. Now first be lov’d. . . Oxford Book of Seventeenth Century Verse, The. H. J. C. Grierson and G. Bullough, eds. (1934) Oxford University Press.

Power! Did you ever hear of men being asked whether other souls should have power or not? It is born in them. You may dam up the fountain of water, and make it a stagnant marsh, or you may let it run free and do its work; but you cannot say whether it shall be there; it is there. And it will act, if not openly for good, then covertly for evil; but it will act. - Olive Schreiner Attribution: Olive Schreiner (1855–1920), South African writer, feminist.

Where either I must live or bear no life;
