What is your interpretation of the quote "
that you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time
a small eternity, a sonnet self-contained in rhyme." in louis macneice's poem "sunday morning"
full poem for context:
sunday morning
down the road someone is practising scales,
the notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
man’s heart expands to tinker with his car
for this is sunday morning, fate’s great bazaar;
regard these means as ends, concentrate on this now,
and you may grow to music or drive beyond hindhead* anyhow,
take corners on two wheels until you go so fast
that you can clutch a fringe or two of the windy past,
that you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time
a small eternity, a sonnet self-contained in rhyme.
but listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
to tell how there is no music or movement which secures
escape from the weekday time. which deadens and endures.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
