Both W. H. Auden and William Carlos Williams

wrote ekphrastic poems about Pieter
Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. Both
poems point out that Icarus’s drowning is ignored
or goes unnoticed. Williams's poem uses short
groups of three lines and an objective tone.
Auden's poem uses longer lines and more
description, and it refers to ideas and images
outside of the painting. Williams provides a
matter-of-fact account of what happens in the
painting, while Auden connects the painting to the
overall idea of suffering.

From the poems given, both W. H. Auden and

Carlos Williams wrote ekphrastic poems.

An ekphrastic poem refers to a vivid description

of a particular thing. It's an imaginative act of
narrating a sculpture or art.

In this case, the authors write about Pieter

Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. It
should also be noted that the poems pointed out
that Icarus’s drowning was ignored.

Furthermore, Williams's poem uses an objective

tone as well as shorter lines while on the other
hand, Auden's poem uses longer lines and more
description, and it refers to ideas and images
outside of the painting. Lastly, Williams was
subjective as he gave evidence to support his
point.
