So when loud storms break high, and foam and roar, Against some mole that stretches from the shore, The firm foundation lasting tempests braves, Defies the warring winds, and driving waves. A-while we breathe, then forward rush amain, Renew the combat, and our ground maintain. Ovid. Metamorphoses. The Story of Achelous and Hercules. Book 9.
