As also the silent and ceaseless flow of water is the most natural and the most common emblem of the efflux of time; so in the same root is to be found the origin of many of the words which mean time and eternity. The Gr. αει, the Goth. aiv, the Anglo-Sax. awa, Eng. ever and aye, are all from this same root, so widely spread in river-names, and express the same idea which speaks—
"For men may come, and men may go,
But I go on for ever."
