Thank you for sharing. It's a shame that while reading this I get the feeling of prose I associate with fiction. Where there's no reason for that to be the case.
"outside enormous puffed clouds dwelled
overhead, lit from beneath by the town of Porto de Galinhas
on the Brazilian coast; the smells of burning sugarcane and
bitter ocean pushed into my room." is not the kind of sentence one would expect to find in a scientific paper, but I think the paper is improved by it.
I view it as a shame that I haven't encountered more instances of prose in this (scientific/technical) context. I think it adds to the 'quality' of the piece. From a selfish point of view I would enjoy if I encountered more of this style of writing while being introduced to topics. Although, I'm also not contributing any writing of any quality to any corpus. So there is dissonance there.
