Description
There is no specificity as to time and place, but a sense of menace and inevitable doom permeates the language, unnerving the reader even as she or he is riveted to numerous startling images...Then a great and emphatic line comes, with a sort of modern Shakespearean resonance in its depth: "No one has ever explained the riddle of the world."
