Dear Editor:
RE: Water ‘solution’, April 8.
I thank Sytske Drijber for the thoughtful letter on water conservation.
However, in the very best traditions of academic nitpicking, I must point out that the correct quotation from “the old poem in our school reader” (actually Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner) is:
“Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”
Coleridge continues with some wonderful imagery, for example:
“Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs, Upon the slimy sea.”
Great stuff!
