| A natural waterfall crashing down into some sort of reservoir built on two levels – UTV, 284.
Lowry's "natural" waterfall was based in part on an artificial one previously to be found at Chapultepec Park, Cuernavaca; but the description also derives from the "cascada bellisima de San Antón", a mile or so west of the town. |
| The noise of the approaching falls was now like the awakening voices downwind of five thousand bobolinks in an Ohio savannah. Toward it the torrent raced furiously – UTV, 318.
A small stream makes its way through Cuernavaca's Chapultepec Park towards this waterfall; but Lowry has amplified it with the aid of Nuttall's Ornithology (1840), which describes (198) the sound of the bobolinks "in the savannahs of Ohio and Michigan" as being like "the noise of a distant torrent." |
