I have not read this book, but the line you reference seems like fairly standard poetry to me. Is that what it reminds you of? Or something else altogether?


That line feels like an Edgar Allen Poe or Beethoven cadence. It goes up and down in perfect step. Just reading it I feel like I'm in motion.


Regarding Poe, specifically "The Bells", since many associate him solely with psychological horror or early mysteries and this is a departure from that:
