Moments of Rich Lyricism

'Although Cormac McCarthy is known for the spareness of his prose, there are also moments of rich lyricism in The Road.'
McCarthy uses hyperbolic language to exaggerate and emotionalize the situations. McCarthy's use of rich lyricism is engaging to the audience, almost more so because he uses it sparingly.
Evidence of these uses of laguage are;
'like pilgrims in a fable wallowed up and lost among the inward parts of some gigantic beast.' pg.1
'Cold glaucoma dimming away the world.'- Pg.1
'Alabaster bones.' -Pg.2
'Sulfur'
'Creed less shells of men tottering down the causeway like migrants in a feverland.' 
'Flake of Obsidian' -Pg.60
'The linoleum was stained.'- Pg.5
'Enshrouded them.' -Pg. 8
'Descended into a gryke' - Pg.10
The transam grated in the sand.'
'Periodic rack ad shuffle of the carlocks'.
'polished and muscular and tensional. On their backs were vermiculite patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming.'
