Litany Questions

1. The bread, knife, wine and goblet make sense when thinking about religion. However, do the other objects mean anything together?
2. Are the objects of comparison grouped together for a reason?
3. Why in the fifth stanza does it change from "it is possible that you are" to "you are not" in the next?
4. Why would it "interest you to know" what "I am?"
5. Why should it be comforting that "you are still the bread...the wine?"
6. Is there really any meaning to this poem or is it only meant to sound like there is? In other words, are they trick metaphors that mean nothing?
