The document is a report submitted by Anjana P to her lecturer Dhanya Kumar analyzing the poem "Follower" by Seamus Heaney. The poem describes the father of Seamus Heaney working with a horse-plough in the fields, with his shoulders resembling a full sail as he guides the horse between the shafts. The father is an expert ploughman who can get the horse to strain forward at his clicking tongue and turn the team around with a single pull of the reins, carefully mapping the furrow with his eye.

8. His shoulders globed like a full sail strung
Between the shafts and the furrow.

9. The horse strained at his clicking tongue

10. An expert. He would set the wing
And fit the bright steel-pointed sock.

11. The sod rolled over without breaking.

12. At the head rig, with a single pluck
Of reins, the sweating team turned round
And back into the land.

13. His eye Narrowed and angled at the ground, Mapping the furrow
exactly.

14. Seamus Heaney was an Irish poet and writer. The
poem ‘Follower’ by Seamus Heaney is an address to
a father by his son admiringly. The poet describes
the toils of his father who worked with a horse-
plough. His bulged shoulders are compared to a full
sail. At the clicking of his tongue the horses move
forward with effort. His father is an expert
ploughman. He makes ready the horses and plucks
out the sod without breaking, with a single pull at
the head rigs of the horses. When the horses turn
round and come back into the land, the father
watches the furrow carefully.
