It discusses the significance of tonal shifts that convey changes in direction, emotion, and thought within a poem. The interaction of contrasting elements, such as civility versus savagery, and the depiction of strength through vivid imagery of boxers and butchers, allows a deeper understanding of the nuances and emotional depth in poetic expressions.
