En su libro de notas de un escritor, A Writer's Notebook, Somerset Maugham describe las impresiones que le produce la jungla cuando navega por el río Sarawak, en Malasia. Particularmente memorable es su sensación auditiva y cómo la comunica:
“Hay un sonido incesante de cigarras, y el sonido tiene algo
de furioso. Es continuo y monótono como el correr del agua de un riachuelo entre
las rocas. De pronto lo silencia el sonoro canto de un pájaro cuyas notas son
las de un tordo ingles”.
There is the ceaseless sound of the cicadas, and the sound has a sort of fury. It is as continual and monotonous as the rushing of a brook over a rocky bed. Then suddenly it is silenced by the loud singing of a birdhouse notes are those of an English blackbird."(187)
