The RIVER is a symbol of the irreversible flow of time, loss and oblivion. It is also a symbol of direction, defining the vectors of fate. This movement, which ends in the great ocean. The river is also the father of the ocean and its product.<...>
The river is a symbol of the barrier separating the world of the living and the dead, and the road to the other world. In the land of the dead across the river Acheron carry the dead, and drunk water from the Lethe to forget all that I remembered before.
It is also a symbol of the constant changeability of the world that was embodied in the famous formula: "you Cannot step twice into the same river".
