"Fancy drew the scene;--she deepened the shades; and the terrific aspect of the objects she presented was heighted by the obscurity which involved them."
Metaphor in Context
But her utmost endeavours were unable to repress the anxiety with which the uncertain fate of Julia overwhelmed her. Wild and terrific images arose to her imagination. Fancy drew the scene;--she deepened the shades; and the terrific aspect of the objects she presented was heighted by the obscurity which involved them.
