Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- Why does the speaker express these huge philosophical questions in a home-like setting, starting with the simple, everyday image of a fork?
- Why do you think "God" is never explicitly mentioned?
- What does the speaker seem to believe in? How does this poem portray the speaker's belief?
- What significance does the idea of "the Dark" have in this description of the cosmos? What do you think the speaker means by this phrase?
- Does the idea of mansions in the sky tickle your funny bone, creep you out, fascinate you, or none of the above?
- What do you think these mansions would look like if they existed?
