“Midnight glided across the landscape like a velvet bat.”

“That orbèd maiden, with white fire laden,Whom mortals call the moon,Glides glimmering o’er my fleece-like floorBy the midnight breezes strewn.”

“Midnight"The hours glide Like drops of water on a window pane Midnight silence Fear unrolls in the air And the wind hides at the bottom of the well OH It's a leaf We think the earth is going to end Time stirs in the shadow Everyone is asleep A SIGH Inside the house someone has just died”

“The rat scuttles, the big cat creeps, the monkey dashes,The bat glides, the white crane soars, the lizard darts,And the owl hootsIn the middle of the night.”

“There was the sheer Antarctic landscape, and the mind moving across it like a brush on canvas, until the brush was laid aside, and the snow buried it.”

“A gust of wind went Nike across the flat landscape”
