Nostalgic ~
In Rivers of Canada, Hugh MacLennan refers to "The gentle Grand ... I kept marvelling at the Grand. How does it generate enough force to move at all?
"Streams with low banks running through rich tillage can be very deceptive. They remind me of quiet, apparently docile women who periodically lose their tempers and are all the more terrifying because you don't expect it. The Grand River has a long history of losing its temper in the month of April."
