thunder. You could feel it under your feet. A sound without cognate and so without description. Something imponderable shifting out there in the dark. The earth itself contracting with the cold. It did not come again.
In Cormac McCarthy's "The Road," the protagonist experiences an unsettling moment described by a thunderous sound that resonates beneath him. This phenomenon is depicted as indescribable, evoking a sense of mystery and dread that permeates the darkness around him. It suggests an underlying tension in the environment that is both powerful and ungraspable.
