Question: Yeats 'Ancestral Houses'!?
I need help identifying the central image in this stanza please:

Surely among a rich man's flowering lawns,
Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
Life overflows without ambitious pains;
And rains down life until the basin spills,
And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
As though to choose whatever shape it wills
And never stoop to a mechanical
Or servile shape, at others' beck and call!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
