How does the phrase "quite leisurely" connect to the scene depicted in the poem? It describes the depiction of trees and nature
dem82 [27]

The phrase, "quite leisurely", culled from the poem Musee des Beaux-Arts  by W. H. Auden connects to the scene depicted in the poem in that: It reinforces that no one is alarmed by Icarus's drowning.

In this poem, we find the author's description of how the plowman turns away "quite leisurely" as Icarus falls to the ground.

He may have heard the forsaken cry of the boy but he continues on his activity.

So, this shows that no one is alarmed by the fall of Icarus.
