"Trawling your dark, as owls do." In this line of "You're," Sylvia Plath is comparing a baby moving slowly in the womb, to an owl hunting slowly at night. She does this by stating, "Trawling your dark," means moving slowly in the dark. The owl and a baby both move slowly in the dark. An owl, flying at night, and a baby, moving around in the dark womb of their mother's stomach. This is a very clever comparison, comparing an owl to an unborn child. Sylvia Plath does an excellent job of making this comparison clear. Although you have to think about how this relates to describing a baby, you get the sense you have to look deeper into this line of the poem to get the entire meaning. ======
