Explanation:

This excerpt displays the healing element of nature to the ones experiencing melancholy over the idea of death. He exemplifies the in-eternal nature of death and says people should not scream with the thought of death as it is the part of nature and it merely the real form to our mortality. The speaker describes our physical state after death using different metaphors like "sluggish clod" to portray the lack of vitality and a sense of heaviness. The word 'swain' is used to compare how a country boy digs the clod of dirt with plow and treads all over it. The speaker wishes to show the physical human condition after death.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
