Re: Rivers and Romance
Thames isn’t ‘romanticised’ the way you are describing, as far as I know. A very talked about location in all London based writings nonetheless.
Nile is historically and spiritually quite a significant place, but also flowing through a very hot and dry place just like Euprates. I still think rivers are really appreciated in hot and dry climate, if water is considered life, then river is the source of that life.
I am still quite unsure what you mean by ‘romanticise’. You mean lots of love stories are based around rivers?
