The Sound of Many Waters Quotes

“From any icy world wrapped in cloud we emerge into a dun upland. Back down at 2,300 feet the cloud thins and a vista opens along the glen to Dalrigh. It is an umber world, a ginger world save for some faded dark green rectangles of conifer plantations, a damp world, a world of wisping cloud. Through the middle of it runs a stream, the Cononish. We are looking into the future, looking to where the waters now at our feet will soon be, and also where these feet will be on this journey from source to sea. It feels that we are now in sympathy with the river, following its direction of flow rather than struggling against it, that our futures are now running parallel.”
― Robin A. Crawford, The Sound of Many Waters: A Journey along the River Tay
