At first, the narrator notes, such insight brought about an overwhelming sense of insight, joy, accomplishment. The narrator explains that she knew the “How and Why,” the past present, and future, and inner workings of the complex system of interactions we call the Universe. In “Renascence,” the narrator describes the moments when she became privy to all the secrets and information of the universe. In short, it is easy to find joy in the simplest, most mundane things-if we are willing to open our mind to the possibilities within this simplicity. As a result, this poem captures the idea that experiences do not need to be flashy or expensive to be memorable and joy-filled. Though the ferry is not particularly flashy or exhilarating or beautiful, these two characters still found immense pleasure and joy in it. Even though this event would seem mundane to most, the narrator describes the immense delight she found in this simple task.

Using the Mosquito analogy, we have to think about the ways that a Mosquito would avoid being smashed. Hey, I know this is a bit of necro but I wasn't that satisfied with the answers given so I thought I would give my own. I have a theory of my own: the only reason why the characters didn't get splattered immediately when they were drinking is because at the time, all the trees hands were too busy splattering other people, which meant they had a window of opportunity to not get caught.īut what are your thoughts? Is there a way to avoid the hands of death? Or are you doomed forever upon tasting the honey? So basically being distracted = "get caught" = SMASHED.
