Rupert Brook delights the reader with such phrases as “unthinking silence,” “drowsy Death,” “we have beaconed the world’s night,” “crying flames,” “feathery dust,” “friendly bread,” “the blue bitter smoke of wood,” “many-tasting food,” “the cool kindliness of sheets,” “the keen unpassioned beauty of a great machine,” “the benison [blessing] of hot water,” “sweet water’s dinzpling laugh,” “the deep-panting train,” “the cold graveness of iron,” “turn with traitor breath.”
