Mending Wall:

“Something here doesn’t love a wall, / That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, / And spills the upper boulders in the sun; / And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.” “Lá onde está, não precisamos do muro: / Ele é todo pinheiro e eu sou um pomar de maçãs. / Minhas macieiras nunca cruzam / E comem os cones debaixo dos pinheiros, digo a ele. / Ele apenas diz: "Boas cercas são bons vizinhos".

Casey at the Bat:

“Then from 5000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell; / It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell; / It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, / For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.” “From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar, / Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stem and distant shore. / “Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted someone on the stand; / And it’s likely they’d a-killed him had not Casey raised his hand.”

Explanation:

The two highlighted verses of "Mending Wall" show how tension is developed in the course of the work. In the first verse, we can see that the speaker is showing his dissatisfaction compared, which seems a bit contradictory since the poem refers exactly to that, walls. The speaker has a list of reasons why these constructions are bad and disadvantageous. In the second verse, the central conflict shown by the poem is developed. In this verse, the speaker of the poem shows all the disadvantages of building walls for his neighbor, in an attempt to convince him that the construction of a wall is not necessary, since the lands of both are completely different, that is, they will not confuse the land of one with the land of the other. The neighbor, however, does not agree with this and says that the construction of the wall is essential for them to maintain a good relationship.

The highlighted lines from “Casey at the Bat” are also essential to show how tension is developed in the poem. In the first verse, we see a crowd of people shouting, which already creates a certain tension in the reader. Soon after, we noticed Casey's appearance, which is not an appearance full of tranquility, but something with a certain sense of threat and despair. The second verse shows an unruly, nervous crowd, which promotes a feeling of disorder and insecurity, increasing the tension of the poem.
