Please stop shaking your rain water in my direction. What next? Are you going to come over here, cock your leg and urinate upon my person?

Never run in the rain with you're socks on

I am not an outsider. I am an insider who discovered that everyone else had gone out.

I need to offer a sacred water sacrifice at the porcelain altar.

The water is starting to go down, and unless we get too much rain this week, the rivers should be in good shape.

The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains.
