Literary notes about artesian (AI summary)
The term "artesian" has been used in literature both in its literal sense related to water wells and as a metaphor for abundant resources. For instance, in one passage the artesian wells of Dakota are depicted vividly as natural wonders where water leaps dramatically above the ground, emphasizing the power and energy of nature ([1]). In a more practical context, the term is used to denote wells that are integral in irrigation systems, highlighting their role in agricultural practices ([2]). Interestingly, the expression is then metaphorically employed to suggest that one should fill life with inexhaustible resources—much like an artesian well provides a continually flowing supply of water—thus intertwining the natural phenomenon with the notion of personal enrichment ([3]).
