The poem clearly represents the sincerity of our human bonds whilst also showing humanity

    That is Potter’s reality. Likewise‚ “Grainstack” is merely a still life of a field according to Monet’s reality. However‚ in “The Innocent Eye Test” we get a sense of a reality besides the reality of an artist. We are thrust into the mind of a cow.
