   Polly, I was startled to read this just after looking at your pictures of the water. It’s from Nabokov’s “speak memory”. He writes: “The undulating plump shadows of alder foliage on the water — apotheosized inkblots oversized amoebas — were rhythmically palpitating, extending and drawing in dark pseudopods which, when contracted, would break at their rounded margins into elusive and fluid macules, and these would come together again to reshape the groping terminals.”
