Waves of the flood of the world and Mer de Glace: On a way of depicting mountain landscape

When describing the Glacier du Bois seen for the first time, Wiliam Windham 1741 compared it to a lake suddenly bound by ice. In a similar function Horace-Bénédict de Saussure 1786 compared the glacier to a suddenly frozen sea. These descriptions gave rise to the name Mer de Glace, popularised from the early 19th century. In some respects an analogous phenomenon in poetry was the use of a metaphor in which a sudden arrest of an ascending motion of a being flood waters, space rocket constitutes a poetic image Adam Mickiewicz, Julian Korsak, Wincenty Pol, Wisława Szymborska.
