The River Nymph

Oil on Panel

26 x 20 in

And ne'er did Grecian chisel trace A nymph, a Naiad, or a Grace Of finer form or lovelier face.

Walter Scott

Canto I, stanza 18

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.

Hermann Hesse

Siddhartha Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!” said Piglet, feeling him. Eeyore shook himself, and asked somebody to explain to Piglet what happened when you had been inside a river for quite a long time. A. A. Milne
