Answer 1

Answer:

The voice in "that voice from the world of men" refers to the voice of the traveler who is seeking admittance to the house (" 'Is there anybody there?' he said"), and it is from "the world of men" in contrast to the world not of men, or beyond men that exists inside the house, and which is inhabited by "only a host of phantom listeners." The impression is that those listeners inside of the house are perhaps ghosts or spirits of some kind. This is implied most of all by the word "phantom" in the quotation above but also by the reference to "their strangeness" which the traveler "felt" and by the description of them "thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair." This last quotation suggests that these "listeners" exist in the air, illuminated only by the shafts of moonlight that penetrate the windows. They are ethereal, and immaterial. Nonetheless, they may be real, meaning that they might really exist outside of the traveler's mind.
