     summary: Little black wriggling water snakes they look like, though they are nothing of the sort, and we sometimes remind each other of the tale of the Gorgon's Head, with all its snaky crop. And, far, far smaller than these, there are little things in the pond, so little that we really cannot see them at all unless we put them under a microscope.

     summary: Many poems both in Welsh and English have been inspired by this picture of two infant streams springing from the bosom of the same mountain, and after following widely sundered courses through various counties, meeting again as great rivers, just in time to mingle their waters before merging them in the brine. From the Pennines and its eastern fringes, numerous becks hurry to the Eden, and from the west, by long courses with the grain of the country, many little rivers eventually reach the generous shingly bed of the same hospitable stream.

     summary: The Irwell is fed by more rivers than any other of Mersey's tributaries of the same length, and all along its course it serves manufacturing purposes, as the appearance of its waters betokens only too clearly. There are innumerable little rivers in North Wales, boiling down over tumbled rocks, in deep valleys, with trees swaying and arching overhead.

     summary: It is remarkable, further, for the number of other rivers that drain into it. In this Deadwater Bog, it is maintained, the North Tyne takes its rise, though here, as in so many cases in which great rivers originate otherwise than in well-defined springs, there is division of opinion and of faith.
