“Hurry not a woman's favor; neither forcer her hastily to surrender to thee. For she goeth into love as she goeth into the waters at the seashore; first a hand and then a lip goeth she in by littles. She diveth not, she leapeth not from the pier; but by gentle shocks and cries of protest she entereth slowly; yet when the waters of love encompass her, then she is supported. She swimmeth in her joy; she floateth on the tide of happiness.” LoveFirstsLittlesHandsJoyWomenWaterCryDatingLipsFavorsSurrenderTheeGentleShockProtestTidesSeashorePiersGoeth Author:Gelett Burgess
“I remember the good evenings I have fished, even the ones that realised material hopes not by the fish that came to the fly, but by the colour and movement of the water and sky, by the sounds and scents and gentle stirrings that were all about me.” RememberSoundWaterSeaSkyMovementMaterialsRiversFishesBoatEveningGentleColourLakesFishingScentRealisedStirringGood Evening Author:Roderick Haig-Brown
“Stand here by my side and turn, I pray, On the lake below thy gentle eyes; The clouds hang over it, heavy and gray, And dark and silent the water lies; And out of that frozen mist the snow In wavering flakes begins to flow; Flake after flake, They sink in the dark and silent lake.” EyeLyingTurnsSidesWaterDarkPrayingFlowSilentCloudsHeavySnowGentleLakesOver ItGrayFrozenI PrayMistFlakesWaveringHang Over Author:William C.

“I wanted to deconstruct the puppet show. I wanted to turn it inside out and do stuff that you're not supposed to do. I didn't want it to be gentle like most puppet shows tend to be, since they come from childhood where you're gently trying to tell a story. I wanted to blast all that out of the water. I think there's plenty of room of any kind of attitude toward puppets. I call puppeteering acting while hiding.” ThinkingWantTryingKindStoriesShowsWantedTurnsStuffWaterRoomsActingAttitudeChildhoodPlentyGentleHidingBlastPuppetsPuppet Shows Author:Wayne White
“Aomori Water is a sound collage piece made in 1998, in Aomori Japan. I was in a residency with other artists. A Japanese sculptor was making a round house and wanted a sound piece to play in it. I recorded some very gentle waves lapping the beach, for the first part. And a very small mountain stream, flowing, for the second part. I layered 8 tracks. This was the first work that I did in ProTools.” FirstsMadePlayWantedArtistHouseSoundWaterPiecesMountainRoundsWaveTrackBeachGentleStreamsJapanSculptorsCollagesResidencyMountain Streams Author:Phill Niblock
