Wells described in his novel Invisible Man.

  • To love a swamp, however, is to love what is muted and marginal, what exists in the shadows, what shoulders its way out of mud and scurries along the damp edges of what is most commonly praised. And sometimes its invisibility is a blessing.

    Blessing   Ideas   Luxury  
    Barbara Hurd (2003). “Stirring the Mud: On Swamps, Bogs, and Human Imagination”, p.8, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

    Bella Pollen (2011). “Midnight Cactus”, p.256, Pan Macmillan
