-He describes how beautiful nature is by talking about how the mountains are very beautiful and how the sky brings out their shapes. They also speak of how good it was to be in the antiquity village. This shows how you get away from the dirty slobby city and live good so this uses romanticism.
For example, Irving writes, "Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains,and they are regarded by all the good wives, far and near, as perfect
barometers."
-"On entering the amphitheatre, new objects of wonder presented
themselves. On a level spot in the centre was a company of odd-looking
personages playing at nine-pins".
This quote is about elfs that van winkle had seen who gave him magic liquor that put him to sleep for a while. When he finally woke up after a lone period of time, he found everything he knew of before was way different. This explains why this is not logic. You have to use your imagination because nothing like this could happen in real life.
