I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

Question

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

In this poem to convey his message the author is using what method?

At first I thought it was symbolism because he is using this "innisfree" as a way to get away from it all, but then i thought he uses more imagery to convey his purpose than symbolism.

Answer 1

Imagery is correct ... and there's a little personification, too. Do you see it?

Answer 2

thanks! and is it in the last sentence "I hear it in the deep heart's core"?

Answer 3

No ... "for peace comes dropping slow"

Can peace literally "drop"?

Answer 4

But i thought personification is when something has human or animal characteristics?
