In 1916, the poet "fog" published his poem. The fog is compared to a cat watching the city in this poetry. I believe that this is what Sandburg meant when he referred to the fog as essentially factory smoke. In large cities, there was a boom in industry during the beginning of the 20th century.

Robert Frost penned this poem in 1922. In the poem, a man rides his horse while savoring the scenery in the knowledge that his time is running away. The poem's final line, "And miles to go before I sleep," indicates that the main character believes his time is running out. I believe that the influenza pandemic in January 1922 had an impact on this poetry.
