Literary notes about towering (AI summary)
Authors use "towering" to evoke an impression of overwhelming size or exalted stature, whether describing landscapes, buildings, or even human emotions. In many works, it vividly paints images of immense natural features—a mountain, a tree, or cliffs that seem to kiss the sky (as seen in [1] and [2])—or of man-made structures that dominate city skylines (for instance, [3] and [4]). The term also conveys an elevated, sometimes overwhelming, quality in characters or feelings, capturing heroic bravery or fierce passion ([5], [6]). In each context, "towering" enriches the narrative, turning ordinary sights or sentiments into symbols of grandeur and power.
