WRITE CHARACTERSTICS OF HORSE PRESENT IN THE POEM SWIFT THINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL
2 answers
The horse is mentioned in only one line here. See it? Make sure you are 100% clear on the meanings of all words in that line, in the first line, and in the line after the horse is mentioned. Then you should be ready to answer the prompt.
Swift things are beautiful:
Swallows and deer,
And lightening that falls
Bright-veined and clear,
Rivers and meteors,
Wind in the wheat,
The strong-withered horse,
The runner's sure feet.
And slow things are beautiful:
The closing of day,
The pause of the wave
That curves downward to spray,
The ember that crumbles,
The opening flower,
And the ox that moves on
In the quiet of power.
