Two places in the
British Isles where water becomes
visible in different ways. Water is
shaped by its surroundings but over
time shapes its surroundings at a
tiny and a gigantic scale.

Everything changes: but for human beings many
things are Constant. Consider the shapes of clouds, the softness of
grass, the hardness of rock. Consider water.
I well consider all that ye haue sayd,
And find that all things steadfastness doe hate
And changed be: yet being rightly wayd
They are not changed from their first estate;
But by the change ther being doe dilate:
And turning to themselves at length again,
Doe work their owne perfection so by fate:
Then ouer them Change doth not rule and raigne;
But they raigne our change, an doe their states
maintain.
Nature corrects
Mutabilitie, from
Sir Edmund Spenser, The Fairy Queen, VII, vii, 58
pub. 1609
