Consider the poems. "the corn harvest" by william carlos williams an excerpt from "after apple picking" by robert frost summer ! the painting is organized about a young reaper enjoying his noonday rest completely relaxed from his morning labors sprawled in fact sleeping unbuttoned on his back the women have brought him his lunch perhaps a spot of wine they gather gossiping under a tree whose shade carelessly he does not share the resting center of their workaday world. My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree toward heaven still. And there's a barrel that i didn't fill beside it, and there may be two or three apples i didn't pick upon some bough. But i am done with apple-picking now. Essence of winter sleep is on the night, the scent of apples; i am drowsing off. I cannot shake the shimmer from my sight i got from looking through a pane of glass i skimmed this morning from the water-trough, and held against the world of hoary grass. It melted, and i let it fall and break. But i was well upon my way to sleep before it fell, and i could tell what form my dreaming was about to take. Magnified apples appear and reappear, stem end and blossom end, and every fleck of russet showing clear. What subject is emphasized in both poems?.
