Metaphor in Context
Nothing however occurred which could detain me long in this spot. I once more sought the lower story and threw myself on the bed which I had left. My mind was thronged with the images flowing from my late late adventures. My fever had gradually increased, and my thoughts were deformed by inaccuracy and confusion.
(Part I, chapter 23, p. 424)
