About This Quote

The River SwishDeftly maneuvered through the dark green abyss, The wooden raft seemed in tune with this, Canorous rush of theriver swish. "Swish" is a term used by the Dutch. It means to knock or slap, and it is derived from the sound of a wet tongue or lips against an object. The image here is of a man who is maneuvering his way through the dark green abyss.

"The wooden raft seemed in tune with this," indicates that despite his obvious fears and discomforts, he continues to flow with what he has to do. "The wooden raft seemed in tune with this," suggests that he is comfortable and calm, yet determined. He may be extremely uncomfortable, but he doesn’t let that get in his way.

His face may be obscured by darkness and vegetation, but "Canorous rush of the river swish," indicates that he can still hear the rushing sound of a river. Perhaps a river nearby could be heard above the sound of water crashing against rock?
