How is the sitting posture of the fog described in the poem?

Question

Accepted Answer

The sitting posture of the fog is described metaphorically as sitting on 'silent haunches'. This imagery portrays the fog settling down over the city and the harbor in a relaxed yet observant posture, exactly like a cat resting on its hind legs while keeping a careful watch on its surroundings without making any movement.
