Alfred, the river is such a powerful symbol of life and draws us to come and revel in its delight! I can't help but think of what Mark Twain said about the river (romanticized it) when he wrote in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"--"No, Tom, I won’t be rich, and I won’t live in them cussed smothery houses. I like the woods, and the river, and hogsheads, and I’ll stick to ‘em, too.” I love this poetic idea of the river having a daughter! This is such a lovely and romantic work, Alfred! Love it! Fave! L/F/FB!
