Analysis:

Considering the title the intelligent reader is curious to find out the reason why the title is written in French.

He expects the poem be about a specific type of museum.

The poem is arranged into two stanzas, there are free verses thus it doesn't follow a regular pattern.

All verses begin with a capital letter.

The title is written in French because the poet is inspired by the "Musee des beaux arts" in Belgium.

All the core meanings are associated with a specific painting that are on the Museum.

It is a poem that focuses on human suffering.

The first stanza establishes the theme of the poem (that old painters understood the nature of human suffering) and the second stanza provides a specific example, which Audendescribes and analyses in more detail.

After the reading the intelligent reader could understand that the poem should be an argumentative text in verse, therefore the first stanza is a thesis and second one is a reasoning.

There are a lot of enjambment.

Aged are compared with children, old men are waiting instead children are skating so they are moving on on contrary as old men who they are stationary.

The poem has got a lot of perception verbs like: heard and seen that suggest a sense of passivity, things append in spite of people will.

In some place of the poem there are some rhyme, they are not regular.
