Esimerkit

• As every sailor knows, a spicy gale in the tropic latitudes of the Pacific is far different from a tempest in the howling North Atlantic.
• The desert storm was riding in its strength; the travellers lay beneath the mastery of the fell simoom.[...]Roaring, leaping, pouncing, the tempest raged about the wanderers, drowning and blotting out their forms with sandy spume.
• They awaited the word "forward"—awaited, too, with beating hearts and set teeth the gusts of lead and iron that were to smite them at their first movement in obedience to that word. The word was not given; the tempest did not break out.
• . . . the seal
• And bended dolphins play; part huge of bulk,
• Wallowing unwieldy, enormous in their gait,
• Tempest the ocean.
• Oh! dark lowered the clouds on that horrible eve,
• And the moon dimly gleamed through the tempested air.
