The river, to me, is time. It never stops moving and everything you can see from it is waning, fading. You're only going to do or see it once more.

There's a bit in GR Pynchon borrows from Rilke's ninth elegy which comes to mind too,

But because being here is much, and because all
that’s here seems to need us, the ephemeral, that
strangely concerns us. We: the most ephemeral. Once,
for each thing, only once. Once, and no more. And we too,
once. Never again. But this
once, to have been, though only once,
to have been an earthly thing – seems irrevocable.

corpsey and craner have masters in english literature but they cant play it cos education dampened their natural wits and instinctive reactions. only untutored genuisses like us can play it

shiels went to university but he did marketing and communications so he's been left unscathed. hes basically one of us.
 
I’d say that’s mostly true yes I learnt very little at university. Complete bullshit degree, didn’t take it seriously, regret the choice
