became unsettled and stormy
Heavy clouds gathered
thunder
lightning,
and torrents of rain
swept over the face of nature
from time to time.
The sea was in frequent commotion;
heavy ground-swells
drove masses of water
hissing and foaming
against the cliffs.
Everything heralded
the approaching rains.
All nature
sounding forth
the solemn overture
to the grandest
work of the year.
