Imagery in Poetry
Quick Check
The Loon What mood does
by Lew Sarett the poet create
through his use of
A lonely lake, a lonely shore, imagery?
A lone pine leaning on the moon;
All night the water-beating wings
Of a solitary loon.
How does the
With mournful wail from dusk to dawn imagery affect
He gibbered at the taunting stars,— your emotions?
A hermit-soul gone raving mad, Explain.
And beating at his bars.
