Understanding Technical Terms
The poem describes a landscape where the 'volta' marks a shift in tone, and the 'caesura' introduces a pause in the rhythm. The use of 'enjambment' allows sentences to flow across lines, creating a sense of continuity. Notice how the 'metaphor' of the river as life adds depth to the imagery, and the 'alliteration' of 'whispering winds' enhances the musical quality of the poem.
