It is brief, it is evocative. I do not share Jack's feelings about too many adjectives. Some people, including me, find it difficult to use so many, mindful of childhood admonitions about our writing being too 'flowery' and 'schoolgirlish' (the very thought!) I admire those who seem to be able to get away with whole showers of adjectives, images, and I don't know what. I do know that being a bit minimalist, is like having a 'safish' goalkeeper!
