The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love swimming in rivers, and well remember once jumping in at Chiswick.
I've never been far from the river. I'm sort of like a Thames-nymph.
I've always been fascinated by the Mississippi River and the way of life in these small river towns.
I have not been on any river that has more of a distinctive personality than does the Missouri River. It's a river that immediately presents to the traveler, 'I am a grandfather spirit. I have a source; I have a life.'
I love to go hiking. There's a lot of concrete in L.A., and I come from the Shires, so it's important for me to get back in touch with nature.
You know it's only 50 miles from Grand River to Canton, but it took me 67 years to travel that distance.
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.
You can't be unhappy in the middle of a big, beautiful river.
I live by the sea, but the body of water I have the most feeling about is the Mississippi River, where I used to row and skate, ride on the ferry in childhood, watch the logs or just dream.
It is one thing to hear about the forest and the river, but an entirely other experience to go there, to see the environment, and to appreciate the natural riches there first-hand.
