Rilke writes about a swan, but the swan could symbolize humankind.

This is because the complete poem by Rilke talks about the swan and how clumsy it could be while walking and also, Rilke compares MAN with the clumsy swan in life as shown in the line “which is letting go/ of the ground we stand on and cling to every day”

<h3>What is Symbolism?</h3>

This refers to the use of words to mean another thing and could be compared to another thing or person to give it a deeper meaning.

Hence, we can see that from the complete poem, there is the narration of the life of swans and how clumsy they could be.

Therefore, we can see that Rilke compares MAN with the clumsy swan in life as shown in the line “which is letting go/ of the ground we stand on and cling to every day”

Why do you think reading your work aloud helps you to "hear" mistakes?

I would say that sometimes you would not 'identify' a mistake in your head. Also if you read it out loud you might realize how it does not make sense in your sentence.

Hope this helped!
