"...Pearl smoot down and uprooted most unmercifully. It was wonderful, the vast variety of forms into which she threw her intellect, with no continuity, inded, but darting up and dancing, always in a state of preternatural activity, - soon sinking down, as if exhausted by so rapid and feverish a tide of life, - and succeeded by other shapes of similar wild energy.
- The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne
There is an ecstatic tone present here. Pearl's dances around, filled with awer and wonder at her surroundings. She then gets exhausted but a new form of energy arises inside of her and starts to take place.
