Knees, legs, boots

Figure of speech. Having watched William Brayden ascend the stairs, Bloom and Red Murray see the last few parts of the big man disappear: "They watched the knees, legs, boots vanish." The sentence offers an example of asyndeton, a series of words, phrases, or clauses strung together without conjunctions. Another has been heard at the beginning of Aeolus: "trams slowed, shunted, changed trolley, started."
