worn rough from making mountains.
The rest of the poem has arresting images, but what I think is missing is an exploration of what it all means, of the inner lives of these men and women from times past. Or something like that. A second layer of meaning below the mere circumstance of hunting and killing.
Is the poet and therefore the reader merely observing? It would banal, if so.

I would love to add that second layer but that's exactly what we can never again know about them. We didn't understand their way of life at the time, except for a few who lived among them and who didn't write about it. This is as close to them as I can imagine with facts we know.
