of-your-etcetera-deactivated201:greek mythology - the naiads.it is their whispers that taunt shepherdboys and travellers, with their long fingers, to shadowy cavernous riverbed graves, take them by the hand and lead them beneath the surface; free-wheeling fresh water dwelling spirits of nature, bold, presumptuous, above all vain. vivavious and mirthful, clustering in groups of companions, combing each other’s dewy leaf-entwin’d hair with shells; it is their ceaseless chatter that sounds the proverbial babbling brook. god abus’d and half mortal they die like the mayflies that skip across their surface when their spring runs dry. -- source link
