The answer is: They are subway or train tracks.

In the excerpt from "Anthem," by Ayn Rand, the narrator travels through an abandoned underground tunnel. She describes how they go below ground into a large tunnel and see the "long thin tracks of iron," which is not iron. They also touch the cold and smooth train or subway tracks, and crawl forward intending to find out where the tracks take to.

madam [21]

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”
