雾是桑德堡《芝加哥诗集》中反复出现的意象之一。诗人通过对城市活动和城市景观敏锐细致的观察捕捉到了这种迅速变化无孔不入的雾翳并将其纳入诗歌创作之中。雾是工业场景的真实呈现，更是诗人对芝加哥城情感和看法的外露和揭示。雾融入了诗人的想象；雾观看着一切，象征着人民的力量，洗涤着一切的罪恶，同时又预示着人民以及城市的未来。

Sandburg inserts much imagination to the fog image; fog looks on everything happening in the city, symbolizes people＇ s power, cleanses people＇ s souls from all sins, and at the same time predicts the future of people and Chicago.
