The bar was stuffy and melancholy. It was full of the sadness inherent in all deracinated things.
The atmosphere of the bar was oppressive and dreary, reflecting a sense of sorrow that permeated the space. It captured the melancholy associated with things that have lost their roots or connections, resulting in an air of desolation among its patrons.
This description highlights the emotional weight carried by the environment, suggesting that the bar is not just a physical space but also a representation of deeper feelings of displacement and nostalgia. Such sentiments resonate with the overarching themes present in Paul Bowles' "The Sheltering Sky."
