For those who've read it, here's something that might help me: what do you most vividly remember, from Blood Meridian?

Because the overstuffing method would seem to lend itself to the simplification-through-intensity that Bloom sets against Yeats' intensity-through-simplification. But only if the same moments are similarly intense for most.

Might be some white noise here due to the novel's horrors. Like how everyone shrugs off most of what goes down in The Ring but no one shrugs at everything.

I'll write down my own answer now and post it later for comparison.

These yes plus the snakebit horse, Glanton's dog and the tipping point moment when they just start scalping everyone regardless of race or combatant status just anyone who gets in their path.

I remembered there was one but forgot it involved an old woman.
