This "Damned" River

If rivers come out of their icy prison thus bright and immortal, shall not I too resume my spring life with joy and hope? - Thoreau

when the levee broke

music flooded lowland ears

that's surely no joke

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
