Question

Which abilities did the speaker think he lost in the fog?

Answer 1

The poet W.H. Davis describes in his poem 'The Fog' the effect of the fog on him. It blurred his vision and he was unable to see things clearly. He lost the sense of direction and space, not knowing where to go. He felt there was nothing in his head except for two burning eyes. He couldn't breathe due to the dense for and he coughed. The street lamps falling on the moving car no more helped people and looked like distant stars. 

A man came who passed by the poet and offered him to show the way. The man led the poet home and when they reached home the poet came to learn that the man was blind as he rapped the wall with his stick.
