In chapt. 5, when Crane describes a dying man, does he use eloquent lang. or plain lang.? Why?

"Under foot there were a few ghastly forms motionless. They lay twisted in fantastic contortions. Arms were bent and heads were turned in incredible ways. It seemed that the dead men must have fallen from some great height to get into such positions. They looked to be dumped out upon the ground from the sky."

Crane is nothing if not eloquent......... you can see the carnage before your eyes.
