Question: Some metaphor poetry help please!?
I don't understand this metaphor!.

"How time on a knife-edge can pass with the guessing of fragments!."

What does it mean!? And its relating to climbing mountains if it helps any!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That's tough one without reading the rest!. Break it down into parts!. For example, can the writer be referring to a mountain side when saying knife-edge!? Is he suggesting that "guessing of fragments" is over thinking up there and you should just trust your instincts!? Does he/she mean "time" as the moments when your suspended in a surreal environment or the actual time!? You must look at the over all poem and break the line that has you stumped down into small parts!. Sometimes all that work won't pay off and you will still be left stumped!.
Best of luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
