River Yeo
There are several rivers called the Yeo in the West Country of England. Yeo is from a Saxon word ēa, meaning simply "river", "stream", or "water" district (cf. French l'eau), but the South Somerset Yeo is derived from a Celtic word gifl, meaning 'forked river'.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“the folk-lore
Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
