Sight imagery
The booming beauty of Quebec City is described using sight imagery to help readers see the town's nightlife. The author writes, “The stage lights here in Quebec City are too bright. Stars of dust circle the scroll and the pegs as I am introduced in French-Canadian. The cello belonged to my grandfather, who was accidentally killed in World War II."
Concert Hall
The concert hall and its capacity are made visible through a sense of sight. The concert hall is made of glass, and it overlooks the garden. The description aids readers in seeing the physical shape of the concert Hall. The author writes, "And night pools outside the concert hall. The city is still wet. The concert hall is glassed, and it overlooks a garden. Eyes of rain dot the windows and shiver with the breath of wind. Stars fill the sky, then drop to flood the streets and squares.”
Touch Imagery
The narrator highlights the sense of sight when he senses the woman's fading. The touch imagery description arouses the reader's mood and makes the book's setting more vivid. The author writes, "By the end of the final movement, I can sense her fading. Perhaps a single hand remains a scoop of shoulders, a shimmering mane of hair. But she is turning now-inward quickly drifting from the living world."
