The first stanza of Williams poem, “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” begins with: "According to Brueghel/ when Icarus fell/ it was spring."

Using these three lines, predict what you think Brueghel could possibly be. After you have written down 2-3 ideas, complete a mini-research project, drawing on both print and online sources, to research who or what Brueghel is and why he would be referenced here. Write a paragraph about what you learn about Brueghel in your journal.

Answer :

According to the final three lines of the poem, we can see that the theme of the poem to death is irrelevant to the world and presents itself as an unnoticed splash for those who are not participating in this moment, but are following their lives in the best possible way. In other words, we can say that death is insignificant for those who are alive.

According to the poem and the illustration we can conclude that our suffering, represented by the pain and agony that Icarus felt, only concerns ourselves and only impacts our own life, since the people around us are busy with their own activities, however this does not diminish the size and strength of what we are going through.
