[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 1517150, member: 1025"] I had a friend once who wrote--or at least often talked about writing--a story about the nymph of the Hudson River. She was living in the Village at the time, and had a very New York view of the Hudson. She described the nymph as a . . . I probably can't use any of those words here withuot offending somebody's grandma. Ok--trying again--Up my area in Queens, the river used to make tinkling noises like little bells where it slapped against the concrete retaining walls. It tinkled because of the immense quantity of broken beer bottles in it. Cigarette butts and fast food wrappers and hypodermic needles float by. The image of the vast city and its lights are reflected in it. At night, it is black as oil, and shining as gold. But the river is quite different further up, and if a river has a spirit, it must encompass both NYC and upstate. It's a river full of majesty and beauty that has been utterly corrupted, and is still beautiful and powerful in its state of corruption. The story would have to be both to be really great . . . I surely would have loved to see that story. [/QUOTE]
