Extract

Zeugma:
1. Crossing his lawn, I saw that his front door was still open and he was leaning against a table in the hall, heavy with dejection or sleep. (p.139.)
2. At the enchanted metropolitan twilight I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes, and felt it in others - poor young clerks who loitered in front of windows waiting until it was time for a solitary restaurant dinner - young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life. (p.55.)
Pun:
1. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete. (p.105.)
2. “Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it.” (p.14.)
