The poet describes the "rooms" and the atmosphere and pictures what he imagines, as well as

what and what he imagines in his thoughts. He discusses about multiple rooms with different
emotions that he explains with imagery

The poet utilises imagery to help readers in visualising what they see. The first us
e of imagery is found in "The little damp room," when the poet uses tactile image
ry to make us feel the condition of the . The word damp provides a feeling of a
damp or a moist place or room which is an atrocious smell and we can now
imagine how the rooms smells and feels.

The poet also refers to the "maddening sound of the ocean." I can infer from the "imagery"
employed and the atmosphere that the rooms are depressing because the poet is alone himself
in a huge, mysterious place like the ocean.

The mood of "Rooms" remains the same throughout the poem. We can see that the poet is
using a sad tone. As mentioned in the evidence, "maddening sound of the tide," we can see or
imagine that the poet is alone in "In the steady slowing down of hand." we can picture the
poet sitting next to a rock on the beach, alone, with just his thoughts. Another example is
when the poet says, "We seem to wake and might just as well seem to sleep again." This is an
example of an oxymoron and it also describes the poet's life style.
