Question
mood and sensory language quick check
the reward of enterprise
by ward muir
it was overwhelming. never in all my life have i attained to a rapture comparable with that bathe in mid - atlantic. i knew, even at the time, that it would be unforgettable. i had aspired to be able to say that i had swum in water three miles deep... oh, never mind what vain boast i had promised myself. boasting was forgotten. i was experiencing. i was surrendered to an ecstasy, an enchantment, a glee, beyond expression grandose and delicious. i lolled in the pellucid water, not troubling to swim. i let myself go, in those dizzy soarings and sinkings; i abandoned myself to this vast and beautiful force; i felt at once infinitely little and infinitely great.
