@Setanta,
Quote:Have you not seen very many mountain streams, Boss? They tend to rush, to tumble, to chatter--all those writerly descriptions for very busy water--but limpid? I think not.
"chatter" "writerly"? I think you might have been looking for 'babble', Set.
[EDIT: 'chattering brook' got some hits, some 3000 of them. 'chattering stream - 1420]
In between rushing and tumbling and
babbling and even within those times, mountain streams are indeed limpid.
adjective: clear and bright ("Limpid blue eyes")
adjective: transmitting light; able to be seen through with clarity ("Could see the sand on the bottom of the limpid pool")
Google exact phrase: "limpid waters of a mountain"
