Sentence 1

Her sentence:
The flies--most ardent admirers--dart about my face.
from A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

An appositive phrase set apart with dashes emphasizes--a bit sarcastically--her admirers.

My sentence:
Their thoughts--most unruly soldiers--meander across the galaxy. (Speaking, of course, of my students, whose minds do tend to wander!)
