Answer 2

Answer:

The poem "The Listeners" explores the idea of the supernatural that is prevalent in De La Mare's work. The work opens with a foreboding presence of this abandoned house. We know it's abandoned and left with a sense of disrepair because of the way the poet describes it: "the grasses" in front of the house, "the forest's ferny floor" and the bird flying out of the turret at the top of the house. The theme of the supernatural or unexplained continues when the speaker repeatedly asks if anyone is there. His response: "A host of phantom listeners." This idea of loneliness of people, but something else being present is repeated throughout the poem. Note when the poet talks about the speaker who "stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight/ To that voice from the world of men." There is nothing, yet something there. Such ideas confirm the supernatural or other worldly theme of the poem. The poem ends with the traveler calling out to the house, "Tell them I came" as he leaves. It is almost as if the traveler realizes that something, not someone, else is there and he acknowledges it as he leaves with his horse. The theme of a supernatural imagination is present in this poem that compels the reader to embrace both what is there and what might be there.
