2 The thunder ceased; but the rain still continued, and the scene was enveloped in an impenetrable darkness.
3 It advanced; the heavens were clouded, and I soon felt the rain coming slowly in large drops, but its violence quickly increased.
4 There were no horses to be procured, and I must return by the lake; but the wind was unfavourable, and the rain fell in torrents.
5 The rain was pouring in torrents, and thick mists hid the summits of the mountains, so that I even saw not the faces of those mighty friends.

13 It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
14 I looked on the valley beneath; vast mists were rising from the rivers which ran through it and curling in thick wreaths around the opposite mountains, whose summits were hid in the uniform clouds, while rain poured from the dark sky and added to the melancholy impression I received from the objects around me.
