In addition to the superb answer above, you will find:
Alliteration: "We walked"; "high hallway"; "breeze blew"; "blown back"
Sibilance: "must have stood for a few moments listening"
Assonance: "up as though upon an anchored balloon"
Consonance: "whip and snap"
Euphony: "bright rose-colored space, fragilely bound"
Cacophony: "whip and snap of the curtains and the groan"
In addition, Fitzgerald make much use of the progressive tense (-ing endings of verbs). Progressive tenses are useful for showing that an action was, is or will be ongoing during a period in the past, present or future):
twisting them up toward the frosted wedding cake of the ceiling-and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea
