Stanza 1
IN this stanza the poet talks about how the fog grew thicker by the minute and soon it became impossible for him to see or understand anything. It completely blinded his senses and made him disoriented. As he looked around through the fog, he found that young boys appeared much taller, almost like men and the tall men appeared huge like giants.
Stanza 2
The fog slowly started having an effect on him. He felt as if the fog was clutching onto his throat and choking him. He started coughing. His mind became empty and his eyes felt hot and heavy. He could clearly feel the heat in his eyes.
Stanza 3
As the fog grew thicker, it became darker around the poet. The poet, at that point of time, lost all his power of judgement of space and distance. He was not able to decide whether he had to move or stand still. He also could not determine how much distance he had walked or how much more he had to walk.
Stanza 4
The street lamps and the lights of the cars around him started looking like heavenly light. He could not make out whether they were on the earth or were actually stars in the sky.
Stanza 5
A man passing by, offered to help the poet reach home when the poet asks the way. Holding the man by his arm, the poet followed him blindly.
Stanza 6
On reaching a house, the man rapped on its stone walls and asked the poet to follow him inside. The poet did what he was told. Once inside, he discovered that the man who had guided him to safety was blind himself.
