"She moves through my memory the way the gentle river waves turn the setting sun's rays into a nostalgic light show."

"There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky."

"I had been afraid of the awful presence of the river, which was the soul of the river, but through her [Ultima] I learned that my spirit shared in the spirit of all things."
