Explain this extract from the poem Evening: Ponte Al Mare, Pisa by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The sun is set; the swallows are asleep;
The bats are flitting fast in the grey air;
The slow soft toads out of damp corners creep,
And evening’s breath, wandering here and there
Over the quivering surface of the stream,
Wakes not one ripple from its summer dream.
There is no dew on the dry grass to-night,
Nor damp within the shadow of the trees;
The wind is intermitting, dry, and light;
And in the inconstant motion of the breeze
The dust and straws are driven up and down,
And whirled about the pavement of the town.
Within the surface of the fleeting river
The wrinkled image of the city lay,
Immovably unquiet, and forever
It trembles, but it never fades away.

Answer:
Once, the lion the king of the jungle, the lion said to its friend, “As you know I am the king of the jungle and my cub is going to be the next king, I want to provide him with the education that is fit for a king. Please suggest a good teacher for my cub.” The owl suggested the fox, as it is supposed to be very clever. The lion replied, “No way! The fox is very cunning and he always lies; he cannot teach my son.” The owl suggested the elephant but the lion said, “the elephant is just strong but not intelligent; he cannot be my cub’s teacher.”
The owl suggested many animals’ names but the lion did not approve anybody. Finally, the owl said, “Ok why don’t I teach your son ?‘‘ The lion readily agreed as the owl is supposed to be very wise. He appointed the wise owl as the cub’s teacher.
