(Howard Nemerov, "Themes and Methods: The Early...)

The first sentence , with its platitudinous irony , announces an emblematic intent : `` The way to the churchyard ran_along beside the highroad , ran beside it all_the_way to the end ; that_is_to_say , to the churchyard '' .

The highroad , one might say at_first , belongs_to life , while the way to the churchyard belongs_to death .

But the highroad , according_to the description of its traffic , belongs_to life as it is lived in unawareness of death , while the way to the churchyard belongs_to some other sort of life :

Thus , on the highroad , a troop of soldiers `` marched in their own dust and sang '' , while on the footpath one man walks alone .

This strange person quarrels with a cyclist because the latter is using the path rather_than the highroad .
