Examples of Imagery:

"An income sufficient for food and drink, a roof over my head, and a little free time in which to dream and write, to sleep; what more can I ask of the Gods or expect from Destiny?" (Section 18, pg. 24.)

"To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think. To know yourself in a flash, as I did in this moment, is to have a fleeting notion of the intimate monad, the soul's magic word" (Section 40, pg. 40.)
