Then the water opened out in vast sheets of crawling foam that ran up to the very foot of the bank where the scrub began to grow, and ran regretfully back again, tracing myriads of tiny channels where the sand was loose; but just as it had almost subsided, another wave curled and uncurled itself, and trembled a moment, and flung its whole volume forwards through a cloud of unresisting spray.
"Whosoever Shall Offend"
F. Marion Crawford
Fair fresh leaves, and buds-and buds-tiny at first but swelling and working Magic until they burst and uncurled into cups of scent delicately spilling themselves over their brims and filling the garden air.
"The Secret Garden"
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Thy rich tresses, half-uncurled, are growing damp-- so it is time that thy blue eyes should seek repose.
