How does Herman Wouk use imagery in Don't Stop the Carnival?

Example of Imagery:

"Henny loved Amerigo, from the moment she first saw its green hills in the morning sun through the windows of the bouncing inter-islands airplace. And Paperman's fear that, on second look, the enchanted island would prove a tawdry, hot stupid little backwoods; that his infatuation with it had been a dream of a night and a sayt, woven of rainbows, moonbeams, wine, frangipani, and the bright glances of Iris Tramm—this, too, proved groundless."
