Uno dei miei incipit preferiti. E l'ossessione del fiume serpeggia notturna e acuminata...
"...The sea-reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded together without a joint, and in the luminous space the tanned sails of the barges drifting up with the tide seemd to stand still in red clusters of canvas shrply peaked, with gleams of varnished sprits. A haze rested on the low shores that ran out to sea in vanishing flatness. The air was dark above Gravesend, and farther back still seemed condensed into a mournful gloom, brooding motionless over the biggest, and the greatest, town on earth."
"...L'ultimo tratto del Tamigi si stendeva davanti a noi come il principio di una via d'acque interminabile. Mare e cielo si saldavano al largo senza alcuna giuntura, e nello spazio luminoso le vele conciate dalle chiatte fluviali che salivano in deriva con la marea sembravano stare immobili in rossi ciuffi di tele bene appuntite, con bagliori di aste verniciate. Sulle sponde basse che a perdita d'occhio correvano piatte la mare posava una foschia. L'aria era tenebrosa sopra Gravesend, e ancora più indietro pareva condensarsi in un'oscurità funerea, che incombeva immobile sulla più vasta, e più grande, città della terra."
Joseph Conrad da "Heart of darkness"

Ho cancellato il mio commento predente, perché postato contemporaneamente al tuo ultimo, ma senza averlo letto, nn gli rendeva giustizia.
Questa volta nn ho parole, e nn riesco nemmeno ad inventarne d nuove.
Lasciamo parlare le immagini:

CrazyRaver - Bacchiglion
Ho visto le Vibrazioni
con Giulia sui Navigli!
Ho visto i vibratori
usati sui conigli!
E allora io mi chiedo
se l'acqua è potabile
perchè non mi regalano
la bambola gonfiabile
Ed io che mi diletto
al bar della stazione
a cantare la techno
su e giù pel Bacchiglione
Mi sento fuori fase
e un po'suca baruca
Perchè non metton techno
i deejays del Pachuca
Bacchiglion - Bacchiglion
Bacchiglion - Bacchiglion
La mia casa ce l'ho sempre la

joni mitchell - river
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

the river of dreams - billy joel
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Though the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
