Question

Read the poem carefully and answer the following questions.

I saw the fog grow thick

Which soon made blind my ken;

Nothing was in my head

Except two heavy eyes

Like balls of burning lead. And when it grew so black

That I could know no place

I lost all judgment then, Of distance or of space. The street lamps, and the lights

Upon the halted cars
