The cliffs on life's swift current are cleft by shallow valleys.
Masses have queued to cross there ---crowds of billy-goat milkers.
We'll go upstream, God willing,
to walk the hawk-high ridges
and pitch ourselves --- impetuous ---plumb in the roaring torrent!
-Jónas Hallgrímsson, 1844

I trust this picture has nothing to do with the recent flooding in central Texas...
