I feel like there's a reference here I'm forgetting. The symbolism of a river and water is a very strong one.
I'm too lazy to go read it all right now, but I want to say I remember there being similar imagery in Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" or in Knowles' "A Separate Peace." Any takers?

The literary reference is 'The River" by Flannery O'Connor.
