Analysis of The Hiker



Everyman seems to me hiker.
One end of the rope
is held by the god
and another end is
entangled around the waist
and tightened with nod...

Every step is important.
When they are ascending
if they are not careful,
will fall into hell.
will struggle
and hear the death knell.

When they are ascending,
after half a way,
they are exhausted.
They summon their strength
They look more determined.
They look more resoluted.

Their minds are craved for zenith.
Therefrom they will see
the earth below
and they will perceive
a heavenly serenity
and find a very near shining glow.
