Question

summary of the snail written by william cowper

Answer 1

William Cowper's 'The Snail' focuses on the snail. The snail seems to have grown with his house, i.e. shell and it easily sticks to leaf, grass, fruit or wall. On a slight touch, it shrinks and hides in its house for security. This way he also saves itself from other dangers as well. He is a loner and likes to be himself. He leads a life of a hermit ecstatically. The one who tries to seek a snail must be worse than a blind.
