leaving it dry and lifeless.

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.

urges men to struggle against poverty,
ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.
