Here is revealed the secret of the river:
"Have you, too, learned that secret from the river: that there is no such thing as time? ... [t]hat the river is everywhere at once, at the source and at its mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the rapids, at the sea, in the mountains, everywhere, at the same time, and that it possesses only a present, without any shadow of a future?" —Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
