Brewster similarly expresses her nostalgia in a way that makes readers empathic with her strong yearning. The lack of create verb tout ensembley scheme in this piece conveys a sense of fickleness and uniqueness. hatful are made of home bases, she says, which I believe specifically meaner that masses re made of places that they belong to, that people do not carry with them hints of manmade cities and skyscrapers because they do not belong there, but they belong in the Jungles and mountains as human race itself is a piece of character. Furthermore, Brewster uses people as a metaphor for herself, thence being the reason for her intense yearning. Smell of smog in the poop line radiat es a strong imagery of the blurry matter, blinding people from the pathway of their goals.Therefore, the phrase represents Brewster melancholy and strong sense of uncertainty. Her verbal description of the aroma f spring as the almost-not-smell of tulips conveys a sense of disappointment as not even a single whole thing of nature remains in the synthetic world of the modern age. Brewster then mentions the meander of museums, the scent of old, once-functional items that are kept only for the sake of history. This serves as a medium to further convey her nostalgia.She then mentions the scent of work, glue factories, chromium-plated offices, and subways. Her election of mentioning only the dullest and most mundane scents of the contemporary realm depicts her dissatisfaction tit it, in comparison to what her old settlement had to offer.

The image of the Jaunty animals provides an aviation of mirthful glee, which is precisely what she experiences while being in the less febrile environment. She also stated that the hens and chickens are clucking aimlessly, depicting a sense of insouciance. Therefore, her wistfulness is caused by her longing for the blithe and airy nature of her hometown. Spring and winter are the minds chief seasons in this line, Brewster has started to tolerate with the circumstance she is place in in that present and that the benefit in simply yearning is nonexistent. grump and the breaking of ice symbolisms her adamantly of belonging in a place of nature, as it starts to fade, thus exposing herself Brewster then allows the door to her memories to blow open an d permit the frosty mind that is her haunting memories to be blown and fade away.Her description of her memories as frosty depicts her acknowledgement and awareness of how her nostalgia has turned her into an aloof person whose gaze illustrates none but melancholy. In conclusion, this poem is the tale of Elizabeth Brewster short misery and despair due to her nostalgia, which she overcomes as she realizes that the past is not all there is, which is the fickle element of the poem. Therefore, this poem is not a untainted chronicle, but Brewster message of counsel too.
