Questions for blog:
1. Identify three images in this song.
2. Are any of the images also symbols? If so, explain.
3. Explain one symbol that you know to be a symbol.
Answers:
1. a) "Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup."
b) "Pools of sorrow, waves of joy,"
c) "Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box."
2/3. The third image can be perceived as a symbol for the writer's mind—his thoughts are always mixed up and flying around in his head. His ideas are always jumbled, and they're always waiting to be spoken, just as the wind is ready to be let out of the letter box.
