His work is one that exudes energy and passionate movement. However, this image of violence is still quite peaceful. IT seems that the violent and passionate aggression in the work of the harvest blow is able to produce peace. Whereas the harvest bow is quite aggressive and fierce, the image of a man with a fishing pole is a very passive image. A man with a fishing pole is not in control of the situation and his catch is uncertain.
Fishing is truly an open-ended activity and promises no certainty for a man with a fishing pole.
The narrator of the poem is not at all aggressive or passionate. Instead, there is no certainty for his situation. The uncertainty in the narrator's voice in this poem is a far cry from the fierce determination that is echoed by the work of the harvest bow. There is a complete lack of energy in the narrator's words.
