"As they entered the [Cova de Pou d'en Galdes], ..., the sky became suddenly overcast with clouds, a curious stillness seemed to hold the atmosphere, a great flight of rooks passed silently over their heads, and, before they reached the house, some big drops of rain had fallen."
Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost (A Hylo-Idealistic Romance)

[In Wilde's story, the location is "the avenue of Canterville Chase"]
