    Musil (1965)”The Man witout Qualities” comes to mind:

    “Motor-cars came shooting out of deep, narrow streets into the shallows of bright squares. Dark patches of pedestrial bustle formed into cloudy streams. Where stronger lines of speed transected their loose-woven hurrying, they clotted up- only to trickle all the faster then and after a few ripples regain their regular pulse beat” (p. 3)

    And..

    “… it consisted of irregularity, change, sliding foreward, not keeping in step, collisions of things and affairs, and fathomless points of silence in between, of paved ways and wilderness, of one great rhythmic throb and the perpetual discord and dislocation of all opposing rhythms, and as a whole resembled a seething, bubbling fluid in a vessel consisting fo the solid material of buildings, laws, regulations, and historical traditions.
