Why: with many mouths and eyes, many wondrous sights, many divine ornaments, many uplifted divine weapons, the description begins piling up sensory detail almost faster than it can be absorbed.

In life: the early moments of encountering something genuinely overwhelming often feel like this, too much detail arriving too fast to fully process in the moment.

Teaching: if you've experienced a moment like this, overwhelmed by too much happening or arriving at once to fully process, recognize that as a normal response to genuine scale, not a personal failure to keep up.
