He may tells a story or describes a scene in his poems to symbolize some deep meaning and they are even unlike poems sometimes.  As he said he was not a nature poet and he talked about human. Many symbols in his poem reflects human's life. In his poem In Hardwood Groves, he used almost whole length to talk about leaves' life and it is like a transmigration. Leaves fell down and became nutrition to nourish the root. However, at the end of the poem, he said" However it is in some other world/ I know that this is the way in ours" He transformed the topic of leaves to the thinking of human beings .Human's lives have the same inheritance as leaves'.

He also mentioned "I am overtired Of the great harvest I myself desired." During the discussion
