"The wind rose...The waves broke and spread their water swiftly over the shore. One after another they massed themselves and fell; the spray tossed itself back with the energy of their fall...The waves fell; withdrew and fell again, like the thud of a great beast stamping...They swept round the rocks, and the spray, leaping high, spattered the walls of a cave that had been dry before, and left pools inland...The waves broke and spread their white fans over the shore..."From The Waves of Virginia Woolf
