    this poem is about An Advancement of Learning- facing and subsequently conquering sometimes strong and private fears. Heaney describes a lone stroll along a polluted‚ ‘oil-skinned’ river bank. The almost sombre introspective tone of the opening two stanzas rapidly changes into one of revolt and terror as a rat emerges from the river. In a moment of panic‚ the poet attempts to escape‚ only to find another on the far bank‚ which encouraged a deeper impact. The second rat provoked the author to question
