[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Such a jangle of meaningless noises had never been heard by human ears. There were sputtering and bubbling, jerking and rasping, whistling and screaming. There were the rustling of leaves, the croaking of frogs, the hissing of steam, the flapping of birds’ wings. The night was noisier than the day, and at the ghostly hour of midnight the babel was at its height.
