"Water, water, every where, nor any drop to drink" is a phrase from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This poem describes an ocean ship unable to sail to land and running out of its supply of fresh water; sailors have long known that drinking seawater cannot prevent death from dehydration.
