the running water.

‘An improved man, as distinguished from an ignorant one, was a man who knew the reason why water ran downhill.’ I had no desire to be this improved man; I was glad of the running water; I could watch it and listen to it gurgling among the pebbles, and bathing the bright green water plants, by the hour together. I did not want to know why it ran; I had perfect confidence that there were good reasons for what was so beautiful.

This is from the book I am currently reading. George Eliot’s(Mary Ann Evans) the lifted veil (Silas Marner). I don’t know really how much I love reading this. I read it over and over and I cannot read more than four pages a day. This doesn’t mean anything about my reading speed.
