"Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader - not the fact that
it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon."
E.L. Doctorow (American author, with a long list of awards and accomplishments)
This is one of my favorite quotes about description. When the author uses more than just the sense of sight to describe a setting the problem of the reader being on the outside looking in disappears.
