He experienced that nervous agitation to which brave men as well
as cowards are subject; with this difference, that the one sinks
under it, like the vine under the hailstorm, and the other collects
his energies to shake it off, as the cedar of Lebanon is said to
elevate its boughs to disperse the show which accumulates upon them.
-- Sir Walter Scott
