Look at the description of the village peasants. What does the imagery suggest about them? (They came like swarms of flies. / They buzzed the name of God. / They threw giant scorpion shadows on the mud-baked walls. / They clicked their tongues.)

The images	What the images suggest
They came like swarms of flies.	They came in large numbers, uninvited, and crowded the house; it shows the poet found them irritating.
They buzzed the name of God.	They chanted prayers continuously and noisily, like flies buzzing; their prayers were mechanical.
They threw giant scorpion shadows on the mud-baked walls.	Their fear magnified the scorpion; the shadows look like giant scorpions, adding a frightening, dramatic atmosphere.
They clicked their tongues.	They showed sympathy and disappointment (at not finding the scorpion) in a collective, customary way.
