Start down

[NewHope]

Contextt:

And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!

I will mark which must be mine?
I think "which must be mine" is the object of the sentence.

Start down = ?

Hi Casiopea,

(1) Does "mark" mean " To make a visible impression"?

(2) What does "start down" mean?

Is the poet in the sky above the town?

Mark (i.e., target with my eye) the light of my house, and then start my descent/ start descending towards it.

All the best,

Hi brend10,

There are a few example:

"If once you start down the dark path, for ever will it dominate your destiny."

"Energy commodities start down."

"Oil prices start down again."

start down = fell to = minimize = run down etc.

He points his plane's nose toward Wilmington and start down the ramp, monitored by pilot, ATC, and tower.

start down the ramp = he is descending to land on the runaway at the Wilmington Airport.

The quoted verse above is from the poem "Afternoon on a hill" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Regards.
