Explain the different ideas about the existence of the soul and its relationship with the body There are many different views on the existence of the soul and whether or not there is one, and if so, how exactly it interacts with the body.

Despite this the author is still living in the present and thus a conflict is seen; Snyder strongly disagrees with the modern way of life, but the fact that he is alive in this time means that he cannot be completely separated from it. Snyder begins the poem with a cold and lifeless depiction of some unknown place, describing it as a “massive concrete shell lit by glass tubes…” The phrasing is so vague that it is very difficult to get an understanding of what this place is.
