Usage examples for cascade

He
listened
to
every
echo,
he
mounted
every
hill
for
a
fresh
prospect,
he
turned
aside
to
every
cascade,
and
pleased
himself
with
tracing
the
course
of
a
gentle
river
that
rolled
among
the
trees,
and
watered
a
large
region,
with
innumerable
circumvolutions.

To
be
sure,
there
is
a
lovely
little
lake
and
a
pretty
artificial
cascade,
and
the
roads
and
walks
are
good;
but
the
trees
are
all
saplings,
and
nearly
all
the "
wood"
is
a
thicket
of
small
stuff.

Our
negroes
towing
our
canoes,
we
travelled
at
a
considerable
rate,
and
by
our
own
account
could
not
go
less
than
twenty
or
twenty-
five
English
miles
a
day,
and
the
river
continuing
to
be
much
of
the
same
breadth
and
very
deep
all
the
way,
till
on
the
tenth
day
we
came
to
another
cataract;
for
a
ridge
of
high
hills
crossing
the
whole
channel
of
the
river,
the
water
came
tumbling
down
the
rocks
from
one
stage
to
another
in
a
strange
manner,
so
that
it
was
a
continued
link
of
cataracts
from
one
to
another,
in
the
manner
of
a
cascade,
only
that
the
falls
were
sometimes
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
one
another,
and
the
noise
confused
and
frightful.
