20 POINTS!!!!!! In the following excerpt from "Birches," identify the simile. Then explain what that simile means, and how you determined its intended meaning.

It's when I'm weary of considerations,

And life is too much like a pathless wood

Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs

Broken across it, and one eye is weeping

From a twig's having lashed across it open.
