Well that's why I put optionally on that one
Here's the thing I was thinking...cleft of this rock is an allusion to Moses hiding as God's glory past before him. Not what the poem is about but definitely a literary allusion.

It's okay, if that's too cute for you...just the way my mind makes connections.
