When Christ at Cana's feast by pow'r divine, Inspir'd cold water, with the warmth of wine, See! cry'd they while, in red'ning tide, it gush'd, The bashful stream hath seen its God and blush'd.

Waiting is a large part of living. Great, passive, negative chunks of our time are consumed by waiting, from birth to death.
