Answer 2

Both the poems vividly elucidate Brueghels' painting where one offers facts outside and the latter shows more about the idea of painting.

Brueghel's Painting

The two poems are authored by W.H. Auden, as well as, William Carlos Williams.

The similarity in both poems is that they both offer a vivid description of Brueghel's landscape painting.

The notice has failed to give significance to the drowning incident of Icarus.

Despite the similarities, the tone remains objective whereas Auden remains objective and Carlos seems subjective and descriptive.

Thus, one remains factual while the latter emphasizes the emotion of pain and sorrow.
