Passage From All Quiet On The Western Front

"We do it ceremonially, we stretch our legs out in front of us and split deliberately, that is the only way. How it all rises up before a man when he is going away the next morning!"

Stretching his sentences, Erich Remarque pulls one small idea and adds a lot of flare and descriptiveness while applying simplicity and a good visual in ones mind. In this short passage Erich describes what the soldiers do during their resting times.
