1.) “… The sea reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway…” (Conrad 5)
The Thames River is undoubtedly the longest river in England; it has been used for trade and a distinct boundary line for the counties of England for many centuries. It played a huge role in the everyday life of English people who wished to trade with those from other counties and also provided drinking water for the natives. By Conrad saying that it seemed as though it was an interminable waterway, it means that it seems as though the river goes on forever both in the physical sense and in the sense that it provided for people centuries ago and is still providing for people today.
