Irene Papas, actress, singer, is one of Greece's best. The ode she sings to the river is pure poetry. I tried to capture the essence:

River, my river, great river, my sweet river, I give myself to thee, to your rapid current.
What if the body were the voice of love? Is it resurrection, revolution, revelation. Or the real lover, the river...
