this crushed me

It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and
filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet
crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come
over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a
thousand times to be crushed again.
