‘Look, Stranger’ by W. H. Auden is a poem about reveling in a breathtaking view. ‘Look, Stranger’ is a brief poem that is focused on a singular goal: illustrating a scene that is as powerful in retrospect as it was in the moment.
Look, Stranger. Look, stranger, on this island now. The leaping light for your delight discovers, Stand stable here. And silent be, That through the channels of the ear. May wander like a river. The swaying sound of the sea. Here at a small field's ending pause.
Look, Stranger! is frequently enigmatic and recognizably the production of a coterie poet, but its movements toward ready comprehensibility are unmistakable. With resonant phrases, recognizable subjects, enunciated ideas, and light verse and popular forms, Auden took private poetry public.

The poem Look Stranger, reveals that some quester had arrived at his destination without knowing it, and the quest is more psychological than physical. Then our assumption seems quite possible. If we remember Auden's fondness for paradox, it becomes highly probable.
