The Ropewalk

I think the main point in the poem The Ropewalk is daydreaming and imagination. He thinks about all the different ways the ropes being made are used and all of it is tranquil thoughts. He describes the building in the beginning and the end and the description gives us the idea that he is not happy there. However in the middle, he describes how these rows bring calmness and happiness to others. It is definitely Romantic because of the focus on nature when he describes a lot of the things the rope is used for. Imagination is also a major part because throughout the poem he is daydreaming. The one image that stands out to me though is the school boy. It is such a happy thought watching a child play with a kite. I believe he daydreams just to be able to get through the day.
