引用ノック0646:So quietly flows

So quietly flows the Seine that one hardly notices its presence. It is always there, quiet and unobtrusive, like a great artery running through the human body. In the wonderful peace that fell over me it seemed as if I had climbed to the top of a high mountain; for a little while I would be able to look around me, to take in the meaning of the landscape.
(......)
The sun is setting. I feel this river flowing through me-its past; its ancient soil, the changing climate. The hills gently girdle it about; its course is fixed.

(Henry Miller "Tropic of Cancer")
