Shining On Gloriously Forever

From the dim regions beyond the mountains at the upper end of our encircled domain, there crept out a narrow and deep river, and, winding stealthily about in mazy courses, it passed away, at length, through a shadowy gorge, among hills still dimmer than those whence it had issued.
We called it the "River of Silence" for there seemed to be a hushing influence in its flow. No murmur arose from its bed, and so gently it wandered along, that the pearly pebbles upon which we loved to gaze, far down within its bosom, stirred not at all, but lay in a motionless content, each in its own old station, shining on gloriously forever.
--Edgar Allan Poe
