The Angler

Description

The Angler is a poem written by an American poet and a painter of images. In the analysis of the poem it describes The Angler carefully fishing with precision., when suddenly, a dotted eagle shafts to the waters and snatches the hook. Until the freshwater fish jumps out of the brook then falls on the angler’s side. In this poem, the eagle probably caused the death of the trout. The angler was astonished by the darting of the bard and regretted he went fishing that day.

One may perceive the story as a story of life’s ups and downs and about saying or doing something which he might regret after.
