In a smithy
one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze
plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam–
the way they make soft iron hale and hard–:
just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.

i do not know what the passage is but i can give some examples

1. repetitive phrases may be used to create a emphasizing tone

2. pauses in sentences are used to create a dramatic effect but can also be suspenseful

3. using lots of exclamation marks and loud speech such as words in all caps can be creating a excited or possibly angry tone.

4. using lots of questioning phrases my mean that they are in suspicion of something.

5. using lots of questionable statements or questions can imply of a sneeky or sly tone.
