a furious devout drench

'Water'

If I were called in
To construct a religion
I should make use of water.

Going to church
Would entail a fording
To dry, different clothes;

My litany would employ
Images of sousing,
A furious devout drench,

And I should raise in the east
A glass of water
Where any-angled light
Would congregate endlessly.

    - Philip Larkin (1922-1985)

... 'a furious devout drench' - sounds so good for the dry and smoky day. :)
