Read these lines from “Some Advice to Those Who Will Serve Time in Prison,” and think about the meaning of the underlined words.

in the flurry of the world

that you shiver there inside

when outside, at forty days’ distance, a leaf moves.


What do the underlined words mean?

A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell knows that sooner or later someone will come to get water and save him or her.

A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell should see himself or herself as living at the center of the world, surrounded by life and all things natural.

A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell may as well be at the bottom of a well because both places are damp, wet, and dark holes

A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell may feel cut off or disconnected from life outside, completely enclosed within his or her isolation.
