EXPLANATION
POINT
The poet presents the fire as being tall.
EXAMPLE
We get the impression of the height when Summerfield writes:
“ Sparks expire just as they meet the stars”
EXPLANATION
Stars are in the solar system, and we have to raise our heads high to look at them. The poet says that the sparks of the fire do not go out until they reach the stars. He uses the word “meet” which suggests that the sparks almost touch the stars.
