Somewhere past Vienna, long before Budapest, the Danube enters a region of singular loneliness and desolation, and two friends paddle a canoe straight into it. The river is in flood.

We were the first human influences upon this island, and we were not wanted. The willows were against us.
The Willows, Algernon Blackwood
