The essay vindicates complexity in times of narrow-mindedness; We should not expect an essay to prove us right, but rather to take it away from us, because the mere fact of thinking that we might be right, isn’t it a neurosis, a delusion? It helps us understand, of course, but shouldn’t it also make us more understanding? María Belmonte fulfills, once again, the old aspiration of instructing by delighting in The murmur of the water. Fountains, gardens and aquatic deitiesa historical and sentimental journey through the places, cults and senses of water from Antiquity to the Baroque, and he tells it to us with his gift of evocation.
