The Virgin of the Sun H. R. Haggard 2006
Thus we went on for three days and nights, the wind from the north blowing all the while and the _balsa_ taking no hurt, by the end of which time I reckon that we had travelled as far along the coast as we had done in six months when we journeyed over land, at which I rejoiced.
The Virgin of the Sun H. R. Haggard 2006
The darkness came down, but still the thunder roared and the lightning blazed, and by the flare of it I caught sight of snow-capped mountains far away upon the coast, also of Kari clinging to the reeds of the _balsa_ at my side, and from time to time kissing the golden image of Pachacamac which hung about his neck.

Nahoko Uehashi Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
Roses climbed the shed, entwined with dark purple clematis, leaves as glossy as satin. There were no thorns. Patience's cupboard was overflowing with remedies, and the little barn was often crowded with seekers. The half acre of meadow was wild with cosmos and lupine, coreopsis, and sweet William.
