Although Yeats was obscure about this, the reference to a "blood-dimmed tide", the fact that the ceremony of innocene is "drowned" transmits the reader an image of water rushing around him or her, pretty much like Noah's flood.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
