It was as if we were bathers, up to our shoulders in water, who suddenly are submerged by a rolling wave.
The great wall of vegetation, an exuberant and entangled mass of trunks, branches, leaves, boughs, festoons, motionless in the moonlight, was like a rioting invasion of soundless life, a rolling wave of plants, piled up, crested, ready to topple over the creek, to sweep every little man of us out of his little existence.
High is the grove of their masts, as they nod by turns on the rolling wave.
