"A girl who's riding with neither spurs nor stirrups is trying to make her white mare go into the ocean; the mare is shying water is spurting out from all sides under its shaking hoofs among the clear laughs of the Amazon whose body is as sharp and bright as metal, suddenly, what I see, in this shifting light this."

The image of the mare resisting the water feels so vivid—the movement, light, and laughter make the whole scene come alive. It captures such a fleeting moment beautifully. I was recently looking into take my teas exam resources, and this kind of descriptive writing is a great reminder of how much detail can shape our understanding of a scene.
