Nemerov uses intellectual imagery to create an unique impression of the woods in this poem. The poem itself is full stimulating experiences. Julia Randall says in her
article, "Nemerov does not seek to impose a vision upon the world so much as to listen to what it says. . . . [H]is . . . virtue . . . is not to diminish the mystery of the world but to allow it to appear without the interposition of a peculiar individuality."
