How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
And the sun looked over the mountain's rim: (1-2)
We've got it all here: sea, cape, sun, and the air. In just two lines, the speaker makes it clear that he's absorbing all of nature's landscape here. Nature, in turn, reflects his own motivations in the poem as the sun checks out the new day in the same way the speaker does.
Quote #2
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of men for me. (3-4)
The parallelism we see here really blends the speaker in with his natural surroundings. The sun has a path of gold set out before it while the speaker has his world of men. It's all connected here, which reminds us that everything has its own path and purpose to strive for.
