Water has no taste, no color, no odor;
it cannot be defined,
art relished while ever mysterious.
Not necessary to life, but rather life itself.
It fills us with a gratification that exceeds
the delight of the senses.
–Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Wind, Sand, and Stars, 1939

In every glass of water we drink,
some of the water has already passed through fishes,
trees, bacteria, worms in the soil,
and many other organisms,
including people.
