Explanation & Answer

Unified sentences have been used to achieve the writer's aim to describe the final physical condition of a person.  The central idea that the person is extremely exhausted is conveyed in gradual increment starting with " sagged flabbily to his knees" to " enormous senility to have settled".  This gradual development of the person's worsening state is the rhythm author uses to impart to the readers the main thought in the quote.
