The wind-tower is a serene object, standing indifferent and steadfast, completely indifferent to whatever is happening around it. Though the windmill is a man-made object, the correspondent understands it to be a symbol of nature's true character. The windmill symbolizes a nature that is not cruel but uncaring and "flatly indifference."
