In contrast to Stardust, the narrator of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian demonstrates a thorough understanding of sophisticated, picturesque language( Find it here on Keep It Classy).

This is just one of the fantastic sentences in this post. She describes the language so well that I can clearly picture what the passage is like without ever reading what she looked at.

Cormac McCarthy's diction in Blood Meridian creates a common, harmonious sound to the passage. I fell like it could be a poem almost with it slow, music like qualities (Find it here on To Kill a Mockingjay).

The entire post had descriptive language just like this sentence. The adjectives used are ones that I didn't think about and she cleverly puts them together to create a ribbon of description.
