"Only at times, the curtain of the pupils
lifts, quietly-. An image enters in,"
(The Panther, 3rd stanza)
Oh, the panther! One of the most amazing big cats in the world today, it is often associated with stealth and power. The "curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly" works as symbolism, symbolizing a dream. This poem reminds me of Inception when Leo goes to visit the chemist. There are quite a few old people hooked up to a dream machine and the old man in charge of them says that they "come to be woken up." Dreaming is the only respite that this panther, the king of stealth and slueth, has from his day-by-day persecution in public. The poem could also be interpretted as a man or woman who can't get out of their current life style. I need to do some more analysis to determine which I feel is definately the most accurate interpretation, but I believe the panther is having a dream.
