Sentence:  I call him <WSD>Jordan</WSD> and it will do. He has no other name before or after. What was there to call him, fished as he was from the stinking Thames? A child can't be called Thames, no and not Nile either, for all his likeness to Moses. But I wanted to give him a river name, a name not bound to anything, just as the waters aren't bound to anything. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  (from=Hebrew); in the Middle Ages given to children baptized with Jordan water brought by crusaders.
