“When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me; wouldst give me Water with berries in't; and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night; and then I loved thee And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.” GivingFirstsMadeLightNightNamesWaterQualityTeachSpringBiggerGive MeAstronomyTheePitsDay And NightBarrenFertileTempestBerriesIsleGonzalo From TempestCaliban Book:Four Late Plays Source: Four Late Plays

“The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.” TurnsWaterAnswersPoorLordSpringFlowRiversIsraelTongueDesertHeightValleysPoolThirstNeedyBarrenForsake Author:Isaiah
“The canyon country does not always inspire love. To many it appears barren, hostile, repellent - a fearsome mostly waterless land of rock and heat, sand dunes and quicksand, cactus, thornbrush, scorpion, rattlesnake, and agaraphobic distances. To those who see our land in that manner, the best reply is, yes, you are right, it is a dangerous and terrible place. Enter at your own risk. Carry water. Avoid the noonday sun. Try to ignore the vultures. Pray frequently.” TryingDoeCountryWaterSunRiskLandRocksDangerousInspirePrayingTerribleDistanceHeatSandHostileBarrenCanyonsVultureCactusQuicksandScorpionsRattlesnakesInspire LoveSand Dunes Author:Edward Abbey
