Water in Literature

The Mirror of Galadriel

"With water from the stream, Galadriel filled the basin to the brim, and breathed on it, and when the water was still again she spoke. ...'Many things I can command the mirror to reveal...and to some I can show what they desire to see. But the mirror will also show things unbidden,... For it shows things that were, and things that are, and things that yet may be. But which it is that he sees, even the wisest cannot always tell.'"

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

"Morag read Pique's letter again, made coffee, and sat looking out at the river, which was moving quietly, its surface wrinkled by the breeze, each crease of water outlined by the sun."

- Margaret Laurence, The Diviners

Noisy - Quiet
Ruffled - Smooth
Solid - Liquid - Vapour
Forever changing form
Impervious to time
