THE FOG
SUMMARY
The poet says that the fog which is generally seen during the winter season is
coming towards the city and the harbour just like a cat. This means that it is
approaching the city in a very silent manner so that no one can notice its arrival.
He has compared its arrival to that of a cat because a cat always enters a place
silently. Next he says that the fog has covered the whole of the city and harbour
and it appears as if it is sitting by folding its legs and looking around just the
way a cat does when it sits on the haunches and looks around. At the end, he
describes the departure of the fog which very silently and unpredictably, again,
similar to the departure of the cat, vanishes.
