Read this excerpt from "Spring and All" by William Carlos Williams:

By the road to the contagious hospital

under the surge of the blue

mottled clouds driven from the

northeast - a cold wind. Beyond, the

waste of broad, muddy fields

brown with dried weeds, standing and fallen

patches of standing water

the scattering of tall trees

All along the road the reddish

purplish, forked, upstanding, twiggy

stuff of bushes and small trees

with dead, brown leaves under them

leafless vines -

Lifeless in appearance, sluggish

dazed spring approaches

What connotations do many of the words in the excerpt have in common?
