Denton, I really appreciated your suggestion about the religious theme in the poem. It really clarifies the ending for me. And following up on the religious theme, I almost think that the Ph.D.’s, though a stretch, could be playing the role of God, the creator. They work to ensure that life prospers on a new planet and take care of their creation of civilization. Then, at the end of their work, they set everything lose and into the control of the creatures they placed in the new world just as God did with Adam and Eve. They leave the land they have just made to rest. They are satisfied with all the hard work they put in to ensure the well-being of this new land is complete and that it can now stand on its own.
