Myrtle Reed quotes about
memorable thinking clothes

summer rocks discovery
The river itself portrays humanity precisely, with its tortuous windings, its accumulation of driftwood, its unsuspected depths, and its crystalline shallows, singing in the Summer sun.

The discovery of it makes the river sing with gladness and turns the murmurous deeps to living water, bright with ripples and foam.
