What does this stanza mean?

Question

"The eary sun, red as a hunters moon, runs in the plain. The mountain burns and shines; and the silence is the long approach of noon upon the shadow that your name defines -

and death this cold, black density stone."

What is the author trying to say? Is he talking about the sun setting? Can you explain this to me please?

Answer 1

It depends on your take of it. I would think he is talking about life. The early sun- the beginning of your life. Noon- the middle. And at the end he is talking about death. The whole time he is comparing life to a day. The beginning, the middle, and the end. It's hard to explain. You just really have to think about what it means to you.

Answer 2

He is telling you the early sun (morning) was a red color and the plains refelcted red. The mountains were reflecting light and shining. The morning is quiet and and wil be until noon. and some how not hearing your name spoken is like a death. Cold and unforgiving. Obviously this person is alone.

Answer 3

Without knowing the author or any of the rest of the poem I would say it's about a red morning sun predicting the impending doom of the animal that will be hunted and killed.
