The way that authors structure their sentences and use their words can affect the pace and mood of a text. How would you describe the pace of the following passage?

"I had swooned! But still will not say that all of consciousness was lost. What of it there remained I will not attempt to define, or even to describe! In the deepest slumber—no! In delirium—no! In a swoon—no! In death—no! even in the grave all is not lost. Else there is no immortality for man!"
