Detailed explanation-1: -As the fog grew thicker, it became darker around the poet. The poet, at that point of time, lost all his power of judgement of space and distance. He was not able to decide whether he had to move or stand still. He also could not determine how much distance he had walked or how much more he had to walk.
Detailed explanation-2: -A. The poet sees ‘the fog grow thick’ in front of his eyes. This ‘soon made blind his ken’, which means, making him almost blind, by affecting his senses. The fog ‘made tall men of boys, and giants of tall men’ as it affected his vision.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The poet sees “the fog grow thick” in front of his eyes. This “soon made blind his ken”, meaning making him almost blind, by affecting his senses.
Detailed explanation-4: -He says that the fog comes on its little cat feet, which implies that the fog is like a cat as it comes slowly. He also says that the fog looks over the harbour and the city and then moves on, implying that the fog has covered the city and is sitting and looking at it, thereby again comparing it to a cat.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer. As the fog grew thicker, the poet’s vision blurred. He began to see boys as tall men, and tall men as giants in the fog. The fog made him choke and he became unwary of his surrounding.
