Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life, and this is the key to it all.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eMoby Dick \u003c\/i\u003eby Herman Melville\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOurselves in Rivers and Oceans - a poetry anthology.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA collection of poems from over 100 international writers reflecting on the theme of  water , with original illustrations by Scottish artist, Colin Thom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe front cover features a photograph by professional photographer \u003cb\u003eMike Curry\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe foreword is written by \u003cb\u003eEaskey Britton\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD.
