BACK TO CHAP 12: WATER! • Samuel Taylor Cooleridge, “Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner”, 1798 • “Day after day, day after day, • We stuck, nor breath nor motion; • As idle as a painted ship • Upon a painted ocean. • Water, water, every where, • And all the boards did shrink; • Water, water, every where, • Nor any drop to drink.”
