Sunday in the Garden 

“All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, 
vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; 
and still, as he lived, he wondered.” 

from The Wind and the Willows
Kenneth Grahame

 

" To gaze at a river made of time and water 
and remember that Time is another river. 
To know we stray like a river 
and our faces vanish like water. "

from The Art of Poetry

Jorge Luis Borges
