the Father of Rivers

the Father of Rivers
амер.
(the Father of Rivers (или Waters; тж. the Great Father))
≈ "мать рек", "мать вод" (прозвище реки Миссисипи)

I bought a poor boy sandwich and got out of the town. Not too far along I found a pleasant resting place where I could sit and munch and contemplate and stare out over the stately brown, slow-moving Father of Waters as my spirit required. (J. Steinbeck, ‘Travels with Charley’, part IV) — Купив себе скромный бутерброд, я выехал из города. Довольно скоро я нашел приятное место для отдыха, где можно было посидеть, пожевать, подумать и поглядеть на величавую, темно-желтую, медленно катящую свои волны Мать Вод.
