And Cytherea all in sedges hid,
Which seem to move and wanton with her breath

Up the creeks we will hie,
Over banks of bright seaweed
The ebb-tide leaves dry.

But cruel is she!
She left lonely for ever
The kings of the sea" (Matthew Arnold)

And forever and forever,
As long as the river flows,
As long as the heart has passions,
As long as life has woes;
The moon and its broken reflection
And its shadows shall appear
As the symbol of love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.
— H W Longfellow.
