WATER

I came like water, and like wind I go...
Edward FitzGerald

The best man is like water. Water is good,
it benefits all things and does not compete with them.
Lao-tzu

I'd like to die like this...
with the dark fingers of the water
closing and unclosing over these sleepy lights and a sad bell somewhere murmuring good night.
Kenneth Patchen

Everyone to his own.
The bird is in the sky, the stone rests on the land,
In water lives the fish, my spirit in God's hands.
Johannes Scheffler
