Question

I have to look for the true meaning of this poem: I saw a man pursuing the horizon. Please tell me what you think about it and also what does round and round they sped mean, and a short summary of each line. PLEASE!! I saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man. "It is futile," I said, "You can never -" "You lie," he cried, And ran on.

Answer 1

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.
