Leaves fall _so very quietly_. They ate _of the fruit from the tree in the
garden_. Regulus would have paused _if he had been the man that he was

_quietly_ is itself modified by _very_, and _very_ by _so_; and just as
_fruit_, the principal word in a modifying phrase, is modified by another
phrase, and the principal word of that by another: so _man_, in the adverb
clause which modifies _would have paused_, is itself modified by the
adjective clause _that he was_, and _was_ by the adverb clause _before
captivity had unstrung his sinews_.
