In the poem “Landscape With The Fall of Icarus”, Williams illustrates the surrounding scene as Icarus falls to his death. Icarus’ death isn’t mentioned until the end of the poem, which shows how insignificant his death is to the society around him. The enjambment of the short lines shows how the thoughts are ongoing and continue from one line to the next. The lack of punctuation also serves to connect the proceeding lines together. This allows one to read the poem as if one were to be falling with Icarus, up until his death at the end. The word “unsignificantly” is given its own line, which further emphasizes the insignificance of Icarus’ death. This contributes to the poem’s theme that one’s misfortunes or struggles in life may go unnoticed
