I saw them plainly and noted, now I came to examine them more calmly, that they were very much larger than human, and indeed that something in their appearance proclaimed them to be not human at all. Certainly they were not merely the moving tracery of the branches against the moonlight. They shifted independently. They rose upwards in a continuous stream from earth to sky, vanishing utterly as soon as they reached the dark of the sky. They were interlaced one with another, making a great column, and I saw their limbs and huge bodies melting in and out of each other, forming this serpentine line that bent and swayed and twisted spirally with the contortions of the wind-tossed trees. They were nude, fluid shapes, passing up the bushes, within the leaves almost - rising up in a living column into the heavens. Their faces I never could see. Unceasingly they poured upwards, swaying in great bending curves, with a hue of dull bronze upon their skins. . . . For the longer I looked the more certain I became that these figures were real and living, though perhaps not according to the standards that the camera and the biologist would insist upon.' 2588003 1934 The Willows total:32|5:18|4:9|3:4|2:0|1:1| 32 139 63 7 0 1 false false Thu Jun 28 17:30:27 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 17:30:27 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Mar 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 15:43:44 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 17:24:42 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 24 11:14:46 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 11:35:26 -0800 2008 fine, this was in 1934, granted, but "The Willows" has retained its unearthly power over the intervening three quarters of a centur...more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 11:57:29 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 15:25:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Sep 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 20:17:15 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 10:07:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Jan 02 14:43:22 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 17:43:07 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Feb 17 19:22:35 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 17 19:22:35 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 13:13:13 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 13:13:13 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 16 15:56:16 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 15:56:16 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 08:04:35 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 08:04:42 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Oct 26 02:54:06 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 02:54:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 25 12:33:47 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 12:33:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 07:36:12 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 07:36:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 02 12:55:16 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 12:55:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 12 07:50:53 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 07:50:53 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 10 07:07:30 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 07:07:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 09 20:17:21 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 20:17:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 07 08:03:33 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 08:03:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 17:00:30 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 17:00:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 13:09:59 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 13:10:10 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1335601
