A story about Dow Water & Process Solutions reminds me of a poem.
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
By Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published 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. …
I had to memorize this poem back in high school, and today, as I was writing my story for the September issue of Edina Magazine, the lines came to mind and I kept saying over and over in my head:
Water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink …”
