present-tense narration
Explanation:
In present-tense narration, there is a sense of urgency used because it is used to tell a story that is happening in-the--moment thereby giving the reader a sense of immediacy.

<u>"And all at once it is completely fire.
</u>
<u>
One upward glance and she ignites her hair
</u>
<u>and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress
</u>
<u>into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace
</u>
<u>from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long
</u>
<u>naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking."</u>
