(…) In ch. 5 the interchangeability of microcosm and macrocosm provides the basis for an exploration of the imagery of constructing and destroying boundaries of the universe, the city, and the body, culminating in the violation by the plague of the walls of Athens and of the bodily integrity of its inhabitants at the end of the poem.
