Summary-- An elementary school classroom in a slum
I Stanza:--- These slum children are very far away from modern
development ways (gusty waves). They are like rootless weeds. As weeds are
unwanted for a farmer in the same way these children are unwanted for the
society. We can see the scattered hair around their pale face. (pallor) There
is a tall girl in the class. Her head is weighed down because of malnutrition.
A boy in the class looks like a paper, his eyes have anger like of a rat. He
has got the disease of twisted bones from his father. He is sitting at the back
of the classroom which is dim. One more boy can be seen who is very sweet and
young. His eyes live in a dream of playing like a squirrel.
Simile:-- Like rootless
weeds Metaphor:-- The paper seeming boy
II Stanza:--- The classroom walls’ colour has faded. There are some
pictures of Shakespeare,Tyrolese valley, world map hanging on the wall of the
classroom. There is no meaning of Shakespeare for him. World map is of no use
to them as it is decided by those who are in power, This is ‘open-handed’.
Anyone who has power and money can decide it. Their world is limited to the
windows of their classroom only. Through these windows also they can not see
their future as it is painted with a fog means it is not clear. Their world is
limited to their street only from where they can see the sky only. They have
not seen any river, cape in their life.
Contrast:-- The condition
of wall just opposite of those pictures hanging on the wall
Metaphor:-- Windows have
been called the world for children
III Stanza:---- The picture of Shakespeare is of no use for them.
These pictures with ships and sun tempt them, they also want to run away from
there. But there world is limited to ‘Cramped holes’ where their lives start at
fog and end at fogless night. On the heap of garbage these children live. Their
bones can easily be seen through their skin. They are wearing the spectacles of
mended glass. All of their future is not clear. Their future is blocked by
slums which work for them as big as dooms.
Metaphor:-
cramped holes, slag heap, foggy slum
Simile:--
as big as doom
IV Stanza:-- The poet requests all the Govt. officials to intervene
into the matter. According to him these windows will shut like catacombs
(underground graveyard) if they do not take action. He requests them to break
those windows to allow children to hover around green fields. Let them run on
sea sand. Let their tongue run naked into books- the white and green leaves.
White and green leaves are the symbol of
books of various subject –may be science. People keep only those in
their memory whose language has power.
Simile:-- like
Catacombs Metaphor:--white and green
leaves, whose language is the sun
