the poem is about the mythical character icarus who built his own wings with wax and feathers only to fly too close to the sun and fall to his death.
in breughel's icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
but for him it was not an important failure;
what is emphasized in both the painting and the poem?
a) that no one seems to care much about icarus's fall
b) that everyone seems very concerned about icarus's fall
c) that icarus's fall starts a great battle between good and evil
d) there are no points that are the same in the poem and the painting
