Read the following passage from Beowulf and discuss the poet's use of imagery to create mood. ... “They live in secret places, windy
Cliffs, wolf-dens where water pours
From the rocks, then runs underground, where mist Steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees Growing out over their lake are all covered
With frozen spray, and wind down snakelike
Roots that reach as far as the water
And help keep it dark. At night that lake
Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,
No wisdom reaches such depths. A deer,
Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds
A stag with great horns, though driven through the forest From faraway places, prefers to die
On those shores, refuses to save its life
In that water. It isn’t far, nor is it
A pleasant spot! When the wind stirs
And storms, waves splash toward the sky,
As dark as the air, as black as the rain
