“Go back to the well”

I’m a little interested in the history of the phrase “go back to the well.” We use it at work to mean “go ask for more money/capital.” Apparently ClicheSite says it means “to return to specific resource or source of information.”

Right now I’m thinking it’s Biblical in origin, but the OED hasn’t helped.

High Plains Drifter

I watched High Plains Drifter yesterday. It’s a weird one. It reminds me of Dogville. Really, a two-hour extra-cruel version of the last ten minutes of Dogville.
