d.The poet compares his students to unruly hounds to illustrate the difficulties of teaching.
Throughout the poem, the class is being compared to a pack of unruly hounds. The teacher is showing that he has been trying to teach the children but it is late and they are itching to get away. This is shown when they are described as tugging on the leash and straining apart. The speaker says that he cannot drive them on another hunt towards something they are not interested in. He is basically giving up on trying to get them to learn anything new.
The expression<em> "the map is not the territory", </em>was first said by the Polish scientist, <em>Alfred Korzybski.</em>
It is a metaphor. There is the reality of something (as perceived by the senses). And there are labels, symbols, abstraction of that reality created by the mind/thought for the sake of convenience, communication, or to make undersanding easier. We are often looking at maps rather than the territory, without realising it. Mind is an expert at doing this.
Korzybski held that many people do confuse maps with territories, that is, confuse models of reality with reality itself. In other words, the description of the thing is not the thing itself. The model is not reality.
