the landscape of the fall of Icarus response

the landscape of the fall of Icarus by William Carlos Williams
Observation: This is a poem about how a man with wax wings fly up to the sun but falls when the wax melts and he falls to earth and lands in water and drowns which is told by another persons point of view on something that wasn't noticed but is known.
Inference: Its a poem that's say such a amazing legend of a man flying with wings made of wax destroyed by the wings weakness of the suns mighty heat that killed the man who made him a legend which was made unkown because of it to everyone but Brueghel.
Interpretation: When i read this poem what always comes to mind is the only weakness in the world to his wax wings killed him from him being mighty and flying all the way to the sun on a nice spring day
