The phrase is found in the second half of a verse in the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The verse is: Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.

The line "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink" is from the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This epic poem, published in 1798, tells the story of a sailor who is cursed after killing an albatross. The line reflects the irony of being surrounded by undrinkable saltwater while suffering from thirst.
