Thames

Reading Ackroyd's book on the Thames I'm struck by many things, not least the fact that the river is fed not by underground springs bubbling up and the like, but up to 90% by rainfall into its central English basin. That, in other words, this is what the Thames, in a literal sense, is: condensed rain, the epitome of the wet sky above.
