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 except have in common?
