I guess a stalactite and a stalagmite could be referenced to a column. Although, only some could be considered column-like.
Stalactites hang from the ceiling and only on occasion do they ever reach the ground. I, myself have toured some caves and have witnessed stalactites reaching the ground, so in that way they could be referenced to a column. But the majority of them, that don't reach the ground, aren't very column-like.
Same goes with stalagmites, but these protrude from the ground, rather than hanging from the ceiling. I've never personally seen a stalagmite that has reached the ceiling of a cave and resembled a column. But I wouldn't doubt that there are a few out there.
So basically in conclusion, the majority of stalagmites and stalactites are not similar to columns. But the few that can go to cave floor to ceiling can resemble a column.
Hope this helps! Stay safe and stay healty! :3
Wouldn't the subject be I because it is about you?
The end of the poem is ironic because it shows that the pirate caused his death, thinking he was being benefited.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- "The Inchcape Rock" shows a bell that was placed on a rock, to prevent ships from sinking when hitting that rock.
- This is because it was not possible to see the rock when it was raining.
- However, a pirate named Sir Ralph The Rover looted the sinking ships, but after the bell, the ships stopped sinking, which harmed his business.
- So the pirate decided to cut the bell from the rock and thought he was benefiting.
- However, on a stormy day, he could not see the rock and ended up hitting her ship, which caused him to sink and die.
In this case, the resolution of the poem is ironic, because the pirate caused harm to himself, thinking he was causing a benefit.

I believe it is a metaphor because it compares the public and swine without the use of like or as.
