प्रश्न
Answer the following question.
The Poem invokes beautiful imagery which is built around 'sigh of the sea', 'laughter of
the field' and 'tears of heaven'. Explain the three expressions in the context of rain.
उत्तर
- The poet has built a very suggestive imagery of rain. He uses the alliteration ‘sigh of the sea’ to express the way sea water evaporates in the form of water vapours. The rain becomes the ‘laughter’ of the field when it helps the growing crops to smile and laugh in joy. As it drops from the sky, it appears as if heaven (sky) is shedding ‘tears’ from above.
- Rain as an agent of flood:
Tears of sorrow
— Source of water for dams:
Water of life
