Famous quotes containing the word spray:

    “I discovered
    the colors in the wall that woke
    when spray from the hose
    played on its pocks and warts....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Sovran of beauty! like the spray she grows,
    Compassed she is with thorns and cankered bower.
    Yet were she willing to be plucked and worn,
    She would be gathered, though she grew on thorn.”
    —Robert Greene (1558?–1592)
