Another reoccurring image, which was presented in both the beginning ... bearers of these fish-like vehicles, which possess the savage servility that Lowell speaks of. In addition, the grease that was mentioned as the medium by which the vehicles slide, invoked the image of fish oil to the reader. It would seem that the image here would be of som...

"And all would come again - the shout of the young voices, the hard thud of the ... white world and silence, and something moving, moving in the night." (128) .
