Q
Oh! That
A
This is a trochee and breaks the Rhythm of the iambic pentameter this break in Rhythm could signify the speakers thoughts as he shifts from the fly crushed in a book to our own lives and legacy’s and how the mark we leave behind if any will never be half as beautiful as the wings of the fly
2
Q
Now thou art gone our doom is every near caesura
A
The caesura in the line allows the reader to pause and reflect the deeper meaning behind the flys death the speaker too stops bringing to our attention our own mortality
3
Q
The Volta
A
The Volta used in the caesura line implies the speaker is no longer thinking about the fly and its wings but people in general and how we are just exposed to accidents and mishaps than any living creature
