( BEAUTY )

WORKING WITH THE POEM

QUESTION 1. 

The poet says, “Beauty is heard in …”
Can you hear beauty? Add a sound that you think is beautiful to the sounds the poet thinks are beautiful.
The poet, Shelley, said:
Heard melodies are sweet,
But those unheard are sweeter.

What do you think this means? Have you ever ‘heard’ a song in
your head, long after the song was sung or played?

ANSWER

According to the poet melodious nates of the rain falling or singers chanting are very pleasing to the ears. But without producing the sound some unheard beauty is also exists which is better than the produced sound with. Like good deeds done by us, good though in our mind and its reflects in our work.

QUESTION 2. 

Read the first and second stanzas of the poem again. Note the
following phrases.
corn growing, people working or dancing, wind sighing,
rain falling, a singer chanting
These could be written as

•corn that is growing
•people who are working or dancing

Can you rewrite the other phrases like this? Why do you think the
poet uses the shorter phrases?

ANSWER

            Wind that is sighing,
             rain that is falling,
             a singer who is chanting

The poet uses the shorter phrases to make the poem attractive.
