“To live a very long time... is supposed to be the desired object of all human life. But it is not. The main thing is to ride the flood tide... How glorious it is to create!

“What a view, i said again. The river was blank and mindless with beauty. It was the most glorious thing I have ever seen. But it was not seeing, really. For once it was not just seeing. It was beholding. I beheld the river in its icy pit of brightness, in its far-below sound and indifference, in its large coil and tiny points and flashes of the moon, in its long sinuous form, in its uncomprehending consequence.” LongSaidFormSoundViewsSeeingMoonConsequenceRiversTinyIndifferenceGloriousFlashBlankPitsBrightnessMindlessIcy Book:Deliverance Source: Deliverance
