Water currents run throughout the world; vigorous, impetuous. Slender flowing torrents, striking themselves, whetting themselves and glistening .
Water currents run throughout the world — and seek. Run with sun, with moon, with darkness — and shout .
Mountains above, valleys below. Water currents purl around and eddy within, round about and round in streaming rows, crookedly upward and straight downward .
A pursuit, a rustling, an unrestrained joy. Unsurpassed hymning — ceaseless. Ever in accord — unwearying. Scintillating laughter, translucent flux, everlasting festival .
Water currents run throughout the world — and roar. They leap and splash themselves with dew, seethe and choke with cheerful snow, well up and beam with silver clouds. A squirt and a spout and a snap; a snap and a leap and a bubble; a bubble and a song and a whisper; a whisper and a song and a dash; a dash and a fall and a skip; a skip and a fall headlong; a leap — and then lost in the flow .
A stone — Water overruns the stone braiding pigtails over it .
Trees — — Water courses by the trees and bids them a loud farewell .
A meadow — — Water rushes to the meadow and kisses her banks. Hugs it and trembles from sheer joy. Makes promises — and runs away. Runs and never wearies. Tells a tale — and conceals the end .
To rest? — There is no place to rest .
To remain? — There is nothing to remain for .
Everywhere is HERE .
Every HERE is THERE .
Every THERE means ONWARD .
