Parched thirsts do gather at your banks seeking such a wondrous spirit, tasting tears of a thousand storms from dreams that linger in your depths, passions captured in your rushing currents while fortune lies quietly in your bed.

This is an apt description of a river steeped in tradition and death. The river does drain and dominate the landscape for those that must endure and revere its power...yet it is also the river of life and prosperity. Emile.
