Grammar
"down" or "bring down"
"They kissed in the back of a lorry coming into camp one night, and the warm wet taste of her, however brief, 'brought her down for him' from heaven into the world of human beings."
What means exactly 'down' here ?
It's 'bring down' a prhasal verb?
Often I found this 'down' in similar situations like this, and it seemed to mean something like 'directly'
Or,
it's only like a prhasal verb is acting here.
