Answer:

Musee des Beaux Arts is a poem that focuses on human suffering, tragedy and pain by contrasting the lives of those who suffer and those who do not.

Much of his poetry relates to the state of the human heart, history, social trends and world affairs.

Those who don't seem to suffer, are often bystanders, ordinary members of the public going about their daily business oblivious to what's going on behind closed doors or just out of earshot. And if they do notice something unusual, they're too busy or distracted to do anything about it.

As Icarus dramatically falls into the sea the event for one man was not an important failure; it made no impression on a passing ship with somewhere to get to; there is no reaction.  

I would think that the idea of the ploughman is that he is going to go on with his day just like any other day.  Work needs to be done, but who will help him in his time of need?  Is he selfish or is he just doing what he has to do to take care of his family?

Very sad....So many people are suffering and what are we going to do about it?  Do we pay attention and seek assistance for them or help them ourselves?  OR do we go on about our own business and not the fragility of the Earth and the people in it?
