Structure, Form and Voice:
- (see context notes for Williams as an imagist).
- The enjambment and ambiguous syntax in 'The Hunters in the Snow' leads to multiple interpretations of the images in the poem. Is it the hunters in the background or the harsh environment?
- The short, staccato lines in 'The Great Figure' are mimetic of builiding tension in the tense city environment.
- In 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus', there is a juxtaposition between the violent imagery of 'drowning', 'splash', 'sweating' and the 'flourishing' vitality of the farmers' land.
