Dialectical Journal (pg 22)

Pg. 22
Quote: Women carried infants, some of them already dead, while other dazed figures glided past like shades, bearing away some pitifully useless possession, a lamp or a volume of verses.

This quote really planted a sad and unimaginable image in my mind. Just seeing someone carring a lifeless baby in their arms really tugs at your heart. This goes to show how well the author included every little detail.
He even included the small details of people carring usless items like a lamp.
One last reason I chose this quote was because the words he used, "dazed figures glided," made me feel like I was one of those creepy figures lost in the background.
