"There is enchantment in flowing water. I sit hypnotised by its beauty – water, the most unifying of the elements, that ties land and sea and air in one living ring. It has a channelled flow, unlike air, and its cycles are vaster, accepting all three states on nature…Tasteless, it accepts all tastes, colourless, all colours, reflecting the sky, refracting the white stones of its bed, dissolving or suspending the soils and minerals over which it flows. "
- Vikram Seth in From Heaven Lake
