Verse 10
In the shadow
Of the grey giant
Find the arm that
Extends over the slender path
In summer
You’ll often hear a whirring sound
Cars abound
Although the sign
Nearby
Speaks of Indies native
The natives still speak
Of him of Hard word in 3 Vols.
Take twice as many east steps as the hour
Or more
From the middle of one branch
Of the v
Look down
And see simple roots
In rhapsodic man's soil
Or gaze north
Toward the isle of B.

Line 2: grey giant
Line 3: arm
Line 4: slender path
Line 6: whirring sound
What kind of things make this sound? You would think maybe a bug? The sound of a propeller? If you include the word cars from line 7 then it seems as though the whirring sound is referring to something that runs across the land like above land, it’s not flying and it’s not underground and that’s probably what’s making that sound. The editor says its something that needs the power of humans to run.
Line 10: Indies native
Line 12: Of him of Hard word in 3 vols
A normal person would think that it was referring to some kind of writer, but it’s difficult to find out who that is. Mr. Preiss said in order to arrive at this person, you must play with words and the start is chicken. Eventually, you will end up at the name of the person who is referred to by Him.
Line 19: rhapsodic man’s soil
Rhapsodic man is a man of epics, from the word rhapsodic, think of a famous song then you will know that the rhapsodic man is the man that made that song.
Line 21: isle of B
