Then I felt something inside me break and music began to pour out into the quiet. My fingers danced; intricate and quick they spun something gossamer and tremulous into the circle of light our fire had made.

The compression of time one experiences when you're a small person underneath this huge avalanche is amazing.
After a while, you can't get any higher. It's like your head is in a wind tunnel - everything is vibrating.

She (Annabeth) put her hand on my spine, and my skin tingled. I (Percy) moved her fingers to the one spot that grounded me to my mortal life. A thousand volts of electricity seemed to arc through my body.
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
