Henry contrasts symbols of beauty, like the “purple stars on the Clematis” laying on the “green night of its leaves” that return year after year, to symbols of horror, like “hideous puppets,” rotting senses, and degeneration; through such juxtaposition, Henry intensifies the horror of ugliness and establishes a vivid image of disgust.…
