The Willows by Algernon Blackwood, Fiction

More about the book

The narrative introduces mysterious, enormous figures that emerge from the tops of bushes, described as bronze-colored and distinctly non-human. These entities rise in a continuous, fluid column from the earth to the sky, intertwining in a serpentine formation that mimics the movement of trees in the wind. Their nude forms are elusive, with faces obscured, leaving an impression of living beings that defy conventional understanding. The scene evokes a sense of wonder and intrigue, blurring the lines between reality and perception.
