NOTES on "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"
(near) Enjambment is used in this line to create a duality of meaning. The line can be interpreted "was awake tingling near" or "near the edge of the sea"
(unsignificantly) using "unsignificantly" instead of "insignificantly" suggests that the importance of the event would be present if the people in the painting were not so absorbed in their everyday activities
