Probably, if I had lately left a good home and kind parents, this would have been the hour when I should most keenly have regretted the separation; that wind would then have saddened my heart; this obscure chaos would have disturbed my peace: as it was, I derived from both a strange excitement, and reckless and feverish, I wished the wind to howl more wildly, the gloom to deepen to darkness, and the confusion to rise to clamour. (Jane Eyre)
I guess ‘and’ is not necessary or an awkward word, for ‘reckless and feverish’ makes an adjective phrase itself. If this is right, is ‘and’ used just for a literary rhythm, or can an adjective phrase include conjunction?
