Examples

  • It was a windy day, aboom and aripple across miles of tawny grass.

    Time Patrolman Anderson, Poul, 1926-2001 1983

  • Heading north, month after month, the _Golden Hind_ sailed for the shore that should have led northeast, and that puzzled the mariners by sheering west and yet west; fourteen hundred leagues she sailed along a leafy wilderness of tangled trees and ropy mosses, beauty and decay, the froth of the beach combers aripple on the very roots of the {160} trees; dolphins coursing round the hull like greyhounds; flying fish with mica for wings flitting over the decks; forests of seaweed warning out to deeper water.

    Vikings of the Pacific The Adventures of the Explorers who Came from the West, Eastward 1903
