Most writers sow adjectives almost unconsciously into the soil of their prose to make it more lush and pretty, and the sentences become longer and longer as they fill up with stately elms and frisky kittens and hard-bitten detectives and sleepy lagoons.

The adjective that exists solely as a decoration is a self-indulgence for the writer and a burden for the reader.
