How does the author use foreshadowing in Fading Light?

Readers see the abstractions and ambiguities become more apparent as the poem progresses. The "of the spinning world is it as" is very easy to stumble over when reading aloud. Perhaps Creeley wants readers to read his words as "think of the spinning world. Is it as ever?" The answer is not obvious, and in struggling for a resolution to the demands of the tortured syntax, perhaps the poet makes his point. The fading light is hard to catch, and the meaning is hard to catch, and it may be the reader who has to supply the meaning that the world and the poet fail to make clear. A striking image, "this plate of apparent life" contains both the abstract word "life" and the concrete word "plate" which will foreshadow "supper" in the penultimate line.
