They both communicated through imagination.
- Nicholas is only communicated with by the poet through his imagination. The poets' creativity is stimulated by Nye's remarks.
- The poet observes Nye in his pasture on a regular day, and indicates that there is a link between the donkey and him, a shared sense or experience. It can be thought of as a reflection about getting old.
- Both appear to have an empathetic bond; the donkey even appears to "smile" at the poet. It is far greater than words which might be interpreted as an unconscious knowledge of how life is for elderly donkeys or ole people.
- Nye will be present and hid wordless brooding through night is part of that permanency. He might be viewed as a source of lyrical inspiration, symbol of quiet suffering, or sign of the inevitable passage of time.
