Excerpt from Adam's Clay: A Novel Outside, the wind shrieked like a human being in a state of hysterical rage. Trees bowed low before its unmeaning, unnecessary, irresistible swirl. Their leafless branches swished the air like whips, and the limbs of those that had grown old creaked painfully. The younger trees, with the foolish pride of youth, made an irritable attempt to resist the common enemy, and for their temerity and impertinence were bent like fishing-rods, or uprooted and flung far. Upon the slanting slate roof of the old farm-house the cold rain beat incessantly. It ran along the gutters, down the pipes, and into the drain with a noise like the gurgling of thirsty horses drinking.
