The Shark
by E.J. Pratt
He seemed to know the harbour,
So leisurely he swam;
His fin,
Like a piece of sheet-iron,
Three-cornered,
And with knife-edge,
Stirred not a bubble
As it moved
With its baseline on the water.
His body was tubular
And tapered
And smoke-blue,
And as he passed the wharf

He turned, And snapped at a flatfish
That was dead and floating.
And I saw the flash of a white throat,
And a double row of white teeth,
And eyes of metallic grey,
Hard and narrow and slit.
Then out of the harbour,
With that three-cornered fin,
Shearing without a bubble the water
Lithely,
Leisurely,
He swam –
That strange fish,
Tubular, tapered, smoke-blue,
Part vulture, part wolf,
Part neither – for his blood was cold.

A) How does the poet make the shark seem like a powerful machine or a weapon?
Reveal Explainer
The poet uses a simile to compare the shark’s fin to a piece of metal. This makes the shark sound as if it is armoured and protected from injury instead of having ordinary skin. It gives the impression that the shark is covered in metal, almost like a machine, a robot or a knight ready for battle.
