“I ride rough waters, and shall sink with no one to save me.”

“A little rest and meditation often saves a lot of riding over rough country.”

“The Vandy said that real witches escaped trial by water by pretending to drown, then freeing themselves with their powers. So she wants you to sink, then save yourself.""I think I can manage the sinking part," I muttered. "The rest...not so sure.""You'll be fine," he said. "And if you're not up in a few minutes, I'll save you.”

“Now shall I walk or shall I ride?'Ride,' Pleasure said;'Walk,' Joy replied.”

“Make me a captive, Lord,And then I shall be free;Force me to render up my sword,And I shall conqueror be.I sink in life's alarmsWhen by myself I stand;Imprison me within Thine arms,And strong shall be my hand”

“What shall I do with this ageing me? Neither floating nor sinking,I drift, tossed by the waves of years.”
