“I understood the explanation and the cleverness”
The bitter tone
Unimpressed by efforts of the priest to discuss the paining.
“Cleverness”- highlighted at the end of the line. Ironic as the speaker does not think it is very clever
“Clucking contentedly”
Metaphor comparing priest to farmer scattering seeds for chickens. Negative image of tourists- no personality and are unable to think for themselves
“Dwarf with his hands on backwards”
Imagery
Poem begins negative and demeaning description of the beggar
“Hands on backwards”
Draws attention as it seems wrong
