Best Answer

The imagery of the sluggish stream and the dancing driftwood symbolize the passing time and reality. As the protagonist dies, he is suddenly aware of the passage of time. To him, the sluggish stream appears to be moving very slowly, and he struggles to hold on to life. The dancing driftwood is the same piece of driftwood that if he could have burned it, he would have become a hero. It represents failure.
