In fact nothing appears to be known apart from that lyrical name; and whatever spring there is lies almost inaccessible among the boggy woods around the rivulet. I’m not even sure whether the muddy puddle I discovered is actually it, hence giving detailed directions seems superfluous; I wouldn’t advise trying to find it.
