Imagery Example: • Page 52, lines 425-433 “They live in secret places, windy/Cliffs, wolf-dens where water pours/From the rocks, then runs underground, where mist/Steams like black clouds, and groves of trees/Growing out over their lake are all covered/With frozen spray, and wind down snakelike/Roots that reach as far as the water/And help keep it dark. At night that lake/Burns like a torch.”
