Build a case that \u201cMending Wall\u201d supports the desirability of having boundaries\/order?

That is, the necessity for a search for \u201ca deeper insight into things,\u201d \u201can epiphany,\u201d \u201ca clearer vision,\u201d despite the very real possibility of failure, and how does he show us that this search is not necessarily narcissistic?

(1 point) [a sentence]<\/strong><\/p>\n 5)The word \u2018open\u2019 can refer to open and closed forms. (Open form–free-verse–is valued here in US and closed form–rhyming sonnets, meter–in Ireland). In the poem the \u201c\u2018open\u2019 sea\u201d is the way a way back to Ireland. Is there a contradiction here. Is (or how is) Muldoon deliberately creating confusion, muddling up any possibility for the reader to find a definite meaning for the poem?

How is this related to Muldoon himself? Discuss.
