Mark Twain in Life on the Mississippi also uses verbs rather than merely adjectives to
create a picture in the mind. The verbs are in italics, the adjectives underlined. Note
that some of the verbs are used as adjectives and some as nouns.
After all these years I can still picture that old time to myself now, just as it
was then: the town drowsing in the sunshine on a summer's morning; the
streets empty, or pretty nearly so; one or two clerks sitting in front of the
Water Street stores with their splint bottomed chairs tilted back against the
walls, chins on breasts, hats slouched over their faces, asleep...: two or three
wood flats at the end of the wharf, but nobody to listen to the peaceful
lapping of the wavelets against them; the great Mississippi rolling its mile
wide tide along, point above the town and point below, bounding the river
glimpse and burning it into a sort of sea, and withal a very still and brilliant
and lonely one
