The spider is trying to get the little strings it’s shooting out to stick to something. The speaker turns a simple, carefully chosen image into a metaphor for the human soul. He fills the poem with his curiosity, excitement, and love for the world. The image of the patient and diligent spider drives the poem. In line 1, we are…
