Many Waters is a 1986 novel by Madeleine L'Engle, part of the author's Time Quartet (also known as the Time Quintet). The title is taken from the Song of Solomon 8:7: "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. If a man were to give all his wealth for love, it would be utterly scorned."
The principal characters of the story are Sandy and Dennys Murry, twin brothers who are, ironically, somewhat out of place (they are "normal") in the context of the multifarious and eccentric Murry family from A Wrinkle in Time. The action of the story follows that of A Wind in the Door but precedes the climactic, apocalyptic event in A Swiftly Tilting Planet.
Many Waters is a 1931 British romance film directed by Milton Rosmer and starring Lillian Hall-Davis, Arthur Margetson and Elizabeth Allan. It was based on a play by Leon M. Lion. An elderly couple reminisce about the romantic adventures of their youth. It was the last film of actress Lillian Hall-Davis, a star of the silent era, who committed suicide in 1933.
I've been searching and you know now that I see
Dreams are beautiful, my reality
I looked at you and found the love inside of me, love
Set me as a seal on your heart
Love is stronger than death
Jealousy is cruel as the grave
Love, many waters cannot quench
Many waters cannot quench
Love, many waters cannot quench
I've been searching, now I see
I've got some love inside of me
Love, many waters cannot quench
Dreams of you fill my reality
Beautiful you are my love
Your eyes are doves behind the veil
Fair as the moon, strong as the sun, yeah
Many waters cannot quench
Love, many waters cannot quench
I've been searching, now I see
So much love inside of you
Love, many waters cannot quench
I've been searching, now I see
(So much love inside of you)
Set me as a seal on your heart
Love is stronger than death
Jealousy is cruel as the grave
Love, many waters cannot quench
Won't retreat, won't surrender
I want you to remember
I won't retreat, won't surrender
I want you to remember
Won't retreat, won't surrender
Well, I want you to remember
(You know I will remember)
Won't retreat, won't surrender
Now I want you to remember
(You know I will remember)
Many waters cannot quench
Love, many waters cannot quench
I've stopped searching, now I see
So much love inside of me
Love, many waters cannot quench
I've stopped searching, now I see
So much love inside of you
