The term “rush” is deployed with remarkable versatility, capturing both literal and metaphorical motion in literary works. It conveys physical surges—the energetic charge of soldiers in battle ([1], [2]), frantic dashes down staircases or out of danger ([3], [4]), and even the swift current of natural forces like water or wind ([5], [6]). At the same time, “rush” serves as a metaphor for sudden emotional onslaughts, from an unexpected burst of joy or passion ([7], [8]) to overwhelming, almost uncontrollable feelings that flood the mind or body ([9], [10]). Additionally, in botanical contexts it designates a slender, pervasive plant ([11]), further highlighting the word’s chameleon-like ability to bridge the realms of action, emotion, and even nature.
