So, to wrap up:

Classic lit>modern
Varied, complex prose>simple prose


Here is an old famous bit from Shakespeare.

It sounds literally nothing at all like what you write. Granted it is not prose.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?


You don't have to write Shakespeare level but doing literally the opposite and insisting that it's what classical authors did is madness.
