The phlegmatic section deals with the more subdued and introspective side of human nature, with poems that explore themes of melancholy, ennui, and resignation.Throughout the book, Williams employs a variety of poetic techniques, including free verse, imagery, and metaphor, to create a vivid and evocative portrait of the human psyche.
