“You
split open a channel for spring and brook,
You dried up the surging torrents.
Yours
is the day, also Yours the night.
It was You Who founded the light and the
sun.
It
was You Who laid down all the boundaries of earth,
Summer and winter, you fashioned them.”—Psalms
74:15-17, from The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary, by Robert Alter

Brandywine Creek in Chadds Ford, Penn., on my just-concluded vacation.)
