Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This is shown in the lines 17 and 18: “We paused before a House that seemed a swelling of the ground‐“ The effect that this line has is showing how the house is where you go to sleep, and your final resting place is the last place you go to sleep.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Roof was scarcely visible – The Cornice – in the Ground. These lines continue to explain this burial house, but it gets a little tricky. A cornice is the pointed part of the roof, and here it’s in the ground. So if the highest part of house is in the ground, the rest of it must be too.
