What is the speaker’s attitude toward the men of Haddam? What attitudetoward this world does he suggest they lack? What is implied by calling them “thin” (line 25)?
What will be an ideal response?
- Stevens chides the thin ascetic men of Haddam who would ignore good blackbirds and actual women for golden phantasms. Their thinness suggests a failure to accept and enjoy the bounty of pleasures that the world provides for us. He also chides that asinine aristocrat who rides about Connecticut (of all places) in a glass coach as if thinking himself Prince Charming.
