5. The syntactical level
The
syntactic constructions are not really varied: mostly compound
sentences, with parallel ‘S + P’ arrangement.
6. Conclusion
This
atmospheric poem was apparently meant as an exercise in the art, like
an etude in music, and as such, does not aspire after lofty ideas or
offer deep insights. What it does put on display, however, is the
poet’s skill in capturing the mood infused by nature. It is heavy
on verbal imagery, which makes the lexical SDs by far the most
elaborate ones. By many it is viewed as an exquisite verbal painting,
akin to the impressionist school, and should be simply enjoyed as
one.
