I read this from The Great Gatsby but couldn't figure out the grammatical structure.
Here is the sentence:
We passed a barrier of dark trees, and then the facade of Fifty-ninth Street, a block of delicate pale light, beamed down into the park.
Can anyone analyze the sentence structure for me ? What's the function of "a block of delicate pale light, beamed down into the park." here?
