City Eclogue

I found it difficult to try and explain the whole book and putting all of the poems together as one thing. Although it seems as if all of the poems have one thing in common which is the city and the imagery that explains it. I decided to focus on one certain piece that I really liked. It's on page 22 called "As it crested the hill". If found it interesting because it kind of compares the universe to this one street. It talks about how the street crested the hill, which is mentioned about three times. I also thing that they are using crest on purpose because it relates to how a moon can be a crest. This one street that is being talked about is like the moon because it oversees and figuratively touches the rest of the city just like the moon looks over the Earth. The rest of the poem however confused me a bit because it never really tied back into the crested hill or the street, it only focused on the universe and the Earth. The very last two lines might also have some significance because it states the same line, "the way the earth comes gliding", but the second time is shown as, "The Way Earth   comes gliding." The space and capitalization really change the way you say it.
