- Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties.
In this sentence, the author uses words such as the "mind mine" and "reminiscence," which imply that the subject of his poem spends a lot of time alone with his thoughts. This lack of company or interaction with others highlight issues of isolation and alienation.
- Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness.
"Dark-walked time," "ages of dryness," "insignificance" and "hopelessness" allude to the lack of <em>presence</em> of the subject. It also points to feeling small and unimportant. Loneliness often has these effects (feeling insignificant, feeling like there is no purpose to existence, not being present in the moment). Therefore, the sentence reiterates the suffering of alienation and isolation.

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

Answer:
This is a declarative sentence.
Explanation:
Declarative sentences are those that aim to pass on information, expose something that has happened or is happening. This sentence can also be considered a comparative sentence, as it compares the emotion expected to be felt by the narrator and the emotion that the narrator actually felt in relation to the joke in the classroom.
The sentence also has a dependent clause "what was meant to be" that needs a complement to make sense and get a message across. This complement is the clause that is established immediately afterwards, ending the sentence.
