Poet Analysis

First Line: A POOR DWARF'S FIGURE, LOOMING THROUGH THE DENSE
Last Line: TOOK TO HIS HEELS AND RAN AWAY.
Subject(s): FEAR;
A POOR dwarf's figure, looming through the dense
Mists of a mountain, seemed a shape immense,
On seeing which, a giant, in dismay,
Took to his heels and ran away.
