In the poem The Fog by Carl  Sandburg, the poet states that the winter fog, commonly seen in the port and harbor, arrives like a cat to the city. That way, it arrives very softly to the city so that nobody notices its presence. He compared its presence to a cat since a cat goes into a place quietly all the time. Then he tells us that the fog is all over the city and the harbor and it seems as though he stands by raising his legs and looking around the same way a cat does when it sits on the haunches and looks around. Eventually, he explains the departure of the fog that disappears again quite quietly and unpredictably similar to the departure of the cat.

Explanation:

  • The poet explains here the advance of fog towards the city and the harbor. He claims that the fog arrives as a cat comes on his little paws. That implies that the fog travels very slowly and quietly like a cat to the city. You never know how and when the fog is coming into the city.
  • Fog is therefore compared to the cat who enters our house in an unpredictable way. He then notes, the fog sits around the whole city as a cat sits silently by folding her legs, looking at the places and things in the vicinity. Similarly, it seems like the cloud slowly surrounds the whole city and harbor and is sitting over them looking around like a cat.
  • The fog departs the city and moved on for a while. The poet claims this because the fog doesn't stay a long time and exits the place within several hours. This is a common occurrence. And, here, the poet claims that the fog exits the area quietly much like a cat does, without anybody knowing it.
