प्रश्न
What is the central theme of the poem - ‘Time and again’?
उत्तर
poem of the tower clock - neither a Shakespearean tower nor a Hazlittian sundial - neither mechanical nor cosmic time- more about human relationships, making and unmaking in the course of time, tangible human relations, forging alliances, different communities at strife and bonding - it is about communities at peace or strife-narrow mentalities’ clashes -time rejoins them and makes them.
