Question
From which line does the import of the title strike the reader?
Solution
From the last stanza of the poem “through the knocked out clockwork, after the riot, a peace-march time bomb, or a precise act of nature in a light of lightning” the reader will be able to strike the title of the poem i.e. “Time and Time Again” as this line shows that after so much of time with quarrels, conflicts, and communal disharmony there will be peace in nature again. Thus this shows that a good time will always come after a bad time.
