And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.

"The Brook", st. 5.Alfred Tennyson (Lord)

But pleasures are like poppies spread—
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river—
A moment white—then melts forever.Robert Burns
Regeneration is the fountain; sanctification is the river (in deeper or shallower degree). 'Entire sanctification' is the river in fullest flow.
J. Sidlow Baxter
Some paintings become famous because, being durable, they are viewed by successive generations, in each of which are likely to be found a few appreciative eyes. I know a painting so evanescent that it is seldom viewed at all, except by some wandering deer. It is a river who wields the brush, and it is the same river who, before I can bring my friends to view his work, erases it forever.
Aldo Leopold
"As for the flood carving Grand Canyon, why don’t they explain to us why the top of the Canyon is 4,000ft higher than where the river (Colorado River) enters the canyon? Why don’t they explain to us how rivers miraculously flowed up-hill for millions of years to finally cut the groove deep enough so they could flow downhill?"
Kent Hovind
The starlight of heaven above us shall quiver
As our souls flow in one down eternity’s river.Thomas Osborne (Irish politician) Davis
