Rivière

He who hears the rippling of rivers in these degenerate days will not utterly despair. - Thoreau

insured at twin banks

flowing moral pulchritude

Author's Note

"The life in us is like the water in the river. It may rise this year higher than man has ever known it, and flood the parched uplands; even this may be the eventful year, which will drown out all our muskrats. It was not always dry land where we dwell." - Thoreau
