Question: Theme of the Poem!?!? !?
i need to know the theme of this poem
Icarus by Stephen Spender
He will watch the hark with an indifferent eye
or pitifully
nor on thos eagles that so feared him, now
will strain his brow
weapons men use,stone,sling and strong thewed bow
he will not know
This aristocrat,superb of all instinct,
with death close linked
had paced the enourmus cloud almsot had won
war on the sun
Till now, like Icarus mid-ocean-drowned
hands,wings, are found!.
