“The big light in the fog
Was but a little lantern
When we came to it.”
This poem talks about how sometimes you build something up so much that the real thing isn’t as grand as expected. The “fog” is all the amazing stuff you expect but once you can see through it you can see what it really is.
In this tiny pond
The great big lake in which
I swam as a boy?
This poem talks about how things their wonders as people grow older. As children it is easier to imaging things to be better than they are. But adults see things as they are and only as they are.
