Muuji qoraalka
William Carlos Williams's 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' is an ekphrastic poem.
An ekphrastic poem is a poem which describes a piece of art, and is inspired by it.
Each of Williams’s seven stanzas refers to something in Pieter Bruegel's painting 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus'.
Like Bruegel, Williams focuses on the natural world rather than Icarus himself.
Each line of Williams’s poem is enjambed - there is no punctuation at the end of any of the lines.
