Each word in the stanza seems to work together. The featured word and then words describing what it is or how it might be used.
- Lives in time – we have to find it
- Measured rhyme – it flows through here
- Wisdom – Waits – in Shadowed sight
- Must interpret lines correctly through play of words, references, riddles, exploring locations on map, etc.
First Stanza Interpretations
- ‘Something’ lives in time – this ‘something’ is featured all through the poem. If you interpret the lines correctly, you will learn of what this ‘something’ is – and acquire wisdom
- The location of Wisdom is hinted/given. Applying this, the Big Hole River is realized. Locations linked to the Big Role River will then need discovered throughout the rest of the poem lines.
