 Keeping Quiet

Think it out 

1. What will counting upto twelve and keeping still help us achieve?

Ans: The poet urges us to count upto twelve and keep still. Perhaps 'twelve' here represent the twelve hour marks on the clock. Most of the ills and troubles of the world are caused because of our rush and hurry. Keeping still will give us the necessary respite for peace.

2. Do you think the poet advocates total inactivity and death?

Ans: No, he doesn't advocates it. He marks it quite clear that stillness shouldn't be confused with total 'inactivity' or equated to it. But nevada has no truck with death. His stillness means bolting of harmful and hostile human activities.

3. What is the 'sadness' that the poet refers to in the poem?

Ans: The 'sadness' mentioned here refers to the sense of gloom and depression caused by mindless human activities aimed at apparent progress. However, in this blind rale we are inviting our own denise. Wars are fought with the goal of achieving.

4. What symbol from Nature does the poet invoke to say that there can be life under apparent stillness?

Ans: The poet was the symbol of the Earth to express the possibility of life even if there is apparent stillness. Even when all appears to be dead, the earth proves to be alive. It never stopes nurturing or production while remaining silent and calm. The poet wishes for a similar tranquil yet productive silence in our lives.
