In this section we examine the limiting cases when T is very small (sudden change) and very large (adiabatic change).

The impasto surfaces — skittering, superimposed grids and crosshatchings with highly sophisticated interplays of color and rhythm — are so lush and richly textured that you want to run barefoot through them.

For example: “Running on concrete surfaces quickly leads to knee damage.” Owing to the squinting modifier quickly, this sentence could meant that running at a high rate of speed on concrete surfaces leads to knee damage, or that running on concrete surfaces will very soon lead to knee damage.

A somewhat languid relish, retaining to bitterness.
