The water understands
Civilization well;
It wets my foot, but prettily,
It chills my life, but wittily,
It is not disconcerted,
It is not broken-hearted:
Well used, it decketh joy,
Adorneth, doubleth joy:
Ill-used, it will destroy,
In perfect time and measure
With a face of golden pleasure
Elegantly destroy.

As Emerson wrote, water used well brings joy, like growing vegetables and native plants, or taking a dip in a backyard pool. However, he also wrote that ill-used water creates leaks and other headaches, like overwatered plants and higher water bills.
