   this poem is truly about columbus going to someone else land and even the birds sense that their will be trouble so thinking that he was doing a good for his people he was doing bad for others i believe that if he truly wanted land he should go look for his own not claim other people's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   The poet made Columbus pause in line 37 so as to show that Columbus was contemplating.He was faced with a dilema whether or not he should claim the land or not.Columbus knew that History was about to repeat itself for his people were once under oppression and he knew that by claiming the land it was not only discovery but destruction of a race of people.
