Enemy at the Gates

     She towered into the sky on balanced wings, 

cleaving a giant rainbow, flying beneath the clouds. 

And Turnus knew her and raised both hands to the stars,

calling the goddess, trailing her flight with cries:

"Iris, pride of the sky! Who has sped you here to me, 

swooping down from the clouds to reach the earth?

Why this sudden radiance lighting the heavens?

I can see the clouds parting, the stars riding

the arching skies. I follow a sign so clear,

whoever you are who calls me into action."

I really like this part of the passage, because it's very descriptive. It creates a very interesting and bold picture, because of the words like, "towered," "swopping," "radiance," and "action." It creates the image if n amazing, stunning person coming to help someone, and to me, this is very unique and eye catching.
