Usage examples of "ingulfing".

It was a lovely starlight night — they had just reached the top of the hill Villejuif, from whence Paris appears like a sombre sea tossing its millions of phosphoric waves into light — waves indeed more noisy, more passionate, more changeable, more furious, more greedy, than those of the tempestuous ocean, — waves which never rest as those of the sea sometimes do, — waves ever dashing, ever foaming, ever ingulfing what falls within their grasp.
