What does the line “the restless, wind-tossed forest of fiddle necks and bows” suggest? Cather compares the fiddle necks and bows to the branches of trees in the wind, creating a wild landscape of movement. Cather describes the shape of the fiddle necks and bows as looking like a stand of trees in a forest. The sound the bows make on the fiddle necks is similar to the sound of the wind in trees in a forest. There are so many fiddles in the orchestra that the sound is overwhelming to Clark.
