„Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage; without o'erflowing, full.“
— John Denham
Context: Oh, could I flow like thee, and make thy stream
My great example, as it is my theme!
Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage; without o'erflowing, full.
Cooper's Hill, Line 189.
