Cyprian Kamil Norwid: 'Naiads, 1846
link
In Greek mythology, the naiads were a type
of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs,
streams, and brooks. They are distinct from river gods,
who embodied rivers, and the very ancient spirits that
inhabited the still waters of marshes, ponds and lagoon-lakes,
such as pre-Mycenaean Lerna in the Argolid. The essence
of a naiad was bound to her spring, so if a naiad's
body of water dried, she would die
