What is an example of imagery in the novel, Land of Milk and Honey?

From the text:

“A universe within me had already been flickering out. By the time I set foot on that mountain I felt myself to be a void, a null space, a set of hands for hire” (34).

“I can’t quote numbers. I can only say what happened when I pressed my face to a wheel of ten-year Parmigiano, how in a burst of grass and ripe pineapple I stood in some green meadow that existed only in the resonance, like a bell’s fading peal, of that aroma. I can tell you how it was to cradle wines and vinegars older than myself, their labels crying out the names of lost traditions. And I can tell you of the ferocious crack in my heart when I walked into the deep freezer to see chickens, pigs, rabbits, cows, pheasants, tunas, sturgeon, boars hung two by two” (18).
