Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a poem by one of the foremost figures of 20th-century American poetry, William Carlos Williams, first published in Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems in 1962. The poem is a work of ekphrasis—writing about a piece of visual art—and is part of a cycle of 10 poems inspired by the paintings of 16th-century artist Pieter Bruegel (or Brueghel) the Elder. Both Bruegel's painting and this poem depict the death of Icarus, the mythological figure who died after flying too close to the sun, in a rather unusual way: in both works, Icarus's death—caused by a fall from the sky after the wax holding his artificial wings together melted—is hardly a blip on the radar of the nearby townspeople, whose attention is turned instead toward the rhythms of daily life. Tragedy is thus presented as a question of perspective, something that depends on how close one is (literally and emotionally) to the event in question.

<span>Here, Albom debunks the dated and/or cliched view of a Heaven filled with the familiar imagery of angels, clouds, and harps. Albom’s interpretation of Heaven goes beyond these superficial markers; he indicates that Heaven is a process of spiritual catharsis instead of a singular physical destination. Eddie learns that his journey into the afterlife can only progress if he deals with the emotional and spiritual baggage he is carrying from his earthly life. Eddie’s encounters with his five people in Heaven are not always comforting; these meetings are emotionally and physically painful at times. Therefore, Albom ascribes an important purpose to his depiction of Heaven: to break all earthly ties - no matter how beloved or wretched the memories might be.</span>
