Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the euphemism in the sentence politely masks any unpleasant details of the mayor's illness.

Explanation:

The term "euphemism" refers to polite, indirect expressions that replace words and phrases considered harsh and polite, or which suggest something unpleasant. The fact is that it is not necessary to know the details of the mayor's illness if he/she is not dealing with a severe disease. Therefore, the euphemism avoids the inclusion of any detail.

eimsori [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The poem addresses the tragedy of a man who seeks an impossible dream. In this case, we can consider that the hoprizon that he pursues is an allegory for this dream, because the more the man walks, the more he tries he cannot reach the horizon that always goes further, that is, he never managed to achieve the dream you so desire.

The people around this man will say that his effort is useless, since reaching the horizon and the dream is impossible, but he desires it so strongly that he will continue to try and ignore everyone around him.
