The poem "Enterprise" by Nissim Ezekiel illustrates a figurative journey toward a certain aim. The travelers on this adventure begin in a genuine geographical location, a desert, and fight over how to cross this difficult terrain. One of the group's members, who produces the most elegant writing, walks out on his own. Later on, he finds more fertile land and settles there. The others continue their quest but never reach their destination. This is a poem about hope. Even though the travelers know they will never reach their goal, they keep on trying because they believe it is possible eventually to arrive at their destination. In addition, the traveler who leads the expedition is a poet, and it is through his words that we learn about their experiences. Indeed, he is the one who describes all that happens during the trip. Finally, consider the last line of the poem: "A dream had its wish." In French literature, this expression means that one dream has fulfilled desire. Here, the dream refers to the expedition itself, which has been wished for since the beginning of time. In conclusion, the poem "Enterprise" tells us that if you want to achieve something, even if it seems impossible now, you should keep on trying until your goal is reached.
