prophets of the Old Testament had very specific roles. God called some to foretell, some to be messengers, and some to forthtell. God used some of the most unlikely men and women to do His will. God used Noah to build an Ark. The Ark was meant to preserve His animals and Noah’s family. It was also used as a sign of His majesty. God used a prostitute to show that He could forgive anyone their sins and to also show that none of us are without sin. God used Daniel to foretell of Jesus’ coming and…

all different cultures and religious backgrounds to make connections with the poem. At the end of Stanza 1, Yeats adeptly describes the story of Noah’s ark, but the animals are not in an orderly manner, they are chaotic and distressed. The dramatized words “blood-dimmed tide,” (Stanza 1, line 5) shows the perspective of the animals which didn’t get to the ark.
