2. Water is life. Literature – image and reflection of life.
L. N. Tolstoy used the image of the river for
camparison.
Human being are like rivers – the water in all of
them, and at every point, is the same, and
each of them is narrow at one point and
swift of other, wide at some points, calm at
other, clear at some points, cold at other,
muddy at some points,warm at other. And so it
is with humanning. Every man bears within him
the germs of every human quality.

Roll azure waves in front of me
And shine in beauty full of priede.

necessary to life, but rather life itself. It fills us with
gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses.
