here fishermen represents the proficient hunters of all kinds and whales are the opressed class of people .it is therefore a cry for the opressed. people are in a rush to complete the goals set by them. the poet wants us to stop for a moment and introspect. mankind is personified as the salt gatherer. in an exotic moment of peace people would finally introspect themselves ,i dentify their follies and rectify them.
