Vendler's Questions from Chapter 8

  • How does the poem "lyricize" landscape; that is, how is the land made a bearer of human feeling?
  • Are there multiple points of view in the poem? How do these points of view represent an emotional or moral quarrel within the poet?
  • How does the poet resolve the tension between the copiousness of history and the brevity of lyric?
