1 A noise nearer at hand made him quiver.
2 His lips quivered and the spectacles were dimmed with mist.
3 He wrenched the quivering stick from the crack and held it as a spear between him and the white pieces.
4 The palms that still stood made a green roof, covered on the underside with a quivering tangle of reflections from the lagoon.
5 Then he sat carefully on a fallen trunk near the little cliff that fronted the lagoon; and the tangled reflections quivered over him.
6 A single cry quickened his heart-beat and, leaping up, he dashed away toward the ocean side and the thick jungle till he was hung up among creepers; he stayed there for a moment with his calves quivering.
7 The glittering sea rose up, moved apart in planes of blatant impossibility; the coral reef and the few stunted palms that clung to the more elevated parts would float up into the sky, would quiver, be plucked apart, run like raindrops on a wire or be repeated as in an odd succession of mirrors.
