Williams’ for example chooses to completely eliminate the ship from the painting and concentrate only on the ploughman, amalgamating the rest of the images present in the canvas to “the whole pageantry.” This works well for his sparse, streamlined imagist style.

It is important to consider that “Musée des Beaux Arts” was written in 1939, after Auden's visit to China, where he had witnessed the effects of the Second Sino-Japanese war.…
