In this poem, the author uses descriptive and scary adjectives to describe the bowels of the cave, causing his readers to be frightful of what is to come next. "granitic beast", "water dripping and sang", and "sightless as the eggs of spiders". The author uses precise adjectives which creates a strong imagery, making the readers feel as though we are in the cave ourselves. I think the author is trying to tell us the fear of being isolated in an area all by yourself. After reading that poem I wouldn't want to be in that cave!
