The Willows
'The Willows' Summary
Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the River Danube. Throughout the story, Blackwood personifies the surrounding environment—river, sun, wind—with powerful and ultimately threatening characteristics. Most ominous are the masses of dense, desultory, menacing willows, which "moved of their own will as though alive, and they touched, by some incalculable method, my own keen sense of the horrible."
