Using evidence from the text to support your answer, explain how the poem “Landscape With the Fall of Icarus,” by William Carlos Williams, reflects one of the common themes of Modernism: “the highs of wealth and success and the lows of failure and excess.” Landscape With The Fall of Icarus
by William Carlos Williams

According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring

a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry

of the year was
awake tingling
near

the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself

sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings' wax

unsignificantly
off the coast
there was

a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
