Several times, I had to change my position quickly in order to avoid being caught among the great, waving tendrils which, lower down, interweaved like the meshes of a gigantic net. I stayed under water as long as I dared, then with lungs afire I had to come to the surface for air. Desperately, I started again. I swam several yards nearer to the rocks and sank once more.

There was a triangular pack or trinity of stray dogs listlessly wiping snouts in whatever might possibly be edible as they interweaved around pedestrians' feet.

When they conversed, and interweaved stories and opinions with all; Menelaus spoke succinctly, few but very sweet words, since he was not talkative, nor superfluous in speech, and was the younger. Thus he does not fail to arm Ulysses at first with this power of overcoming all opposition by the blandishments of speech.
