The first stanza of Williams poem, “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” begins with: “According to Brueghel/ when Icarus fell/ it was spring.”
Using these three lines, predict what you think Brueghel could possibly be. After you have written down 2-3 ideas, complete a mini-research project, drawing on both print and online sources, to research who or what Brueghel is and why he would be referenced here. Write a paragraph about what you learn about Brueghel in your journal.
