The author helps readers picture the story by using imagery. The descriptive language evokes vivid images of the spring setting, such as the "tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life," the "delicious breath of rain," and the sounds of a peddler and sparrows. This rich sensory detail engages the reader's imagination and creates a clear visual and atmospheric picture of the scene.
There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.
She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.
There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.
