Central Idea of the Poem

परीक्षा में Poetry भाग की किन्हीं भी दो Poems के नाम दिए जाते हैं, जिनमें से किसी एक Poem का Central Idea लिखना होता है। इसके लिए 3 अंक निर्धारित हैं।

In this poem. Walt Whitman has beautifully brought out the contrast between animals and human beings. According to the poet, animals are better than human beings and have all the qualities that humans lack or have forgotten. The poem ‘Animals’ shows the poet’s love for animals and his desire to live as an animal because he thinks that they are serene and self-contented. The theme of the poem is not to say how good animals are but to compare humans with them in order to highlight the flaws of human nature. The poet believes that probably a very long time ago, humans possessed all these qualities but they have lost them now.

इस कविता में, वॉल्ट व्हिटमैन ने बुहत सुन्दरता से जानवरों एवं मनुष्यों के मध्य का अन्तर प्रकट किया है। कवि के अनुसार, जानवर मनुष्यों से श्रेष्ठ हैं और उनमें वे सारे गुण हैं, जिनकी मनुष्यों में कमी है अथवा जिन्हें मनुष्य भुला चुके हैं। कविता ‘Animal’ पशुओं के प्रति कवि का प्रेम एवं उन्हीं की भाँति रहने की कवि की इच्छा दर्शाती है, क्योंकि उनका यह विचार है कि जानवर शान्त एवं आत्म-सन्तोषी होते हैं। कविता का विषय यह बताना नहीं है कि जानवर कितने बेहतर हैं, परन्तु मानव स्वभाव की कमियाँ उजागर करने हेतु जानवरों की मनुष्यों से तुलना करना है । कवि का यह विश्वास है कि बहुत लम्बे समय पहले, मनुष्यों में भी ये सभी गुण थे, किन्तु वे अब इन्हें खो चुके हैं।

Thinking About the Poem (Q&A)

1. Notice the use of the word ‘turn’ in the first line, “I think I could turn and live with animals…”. What is the poet turning from?

‘टर्न’ शब्द का पहली पंक्ति में उपयोग देखिए, “मैं सोचता हूँ कि मैं नई दिशा ले सकता हूँ और जानवरों के साथ रह सकता हूँ” कवि कहाँ से मुड़ रहा है?

Ans. In this line, the poet wants to turn from a human into an animal. This turning represents the poet’s desire to get away from the depressing. selfish and false world of humans and stay with animals.

2. Mention three things that humans do and animals don’t. ऐसी तीन चीजों का उल्लेख कीजिए, जो मनुष्य करते है एवं जानवर नहीं ।

Ans. Three things that humans do and animals don’t are as follows

Humans complain and cry about the miseries they face but animals do not do that.

Humans lie awake at night thinking about their wrong doings but animals do not do that.

Humans talk about their religiousness and duty towards God but animals do not do that.

3. Do humans kneel to other humans who lived thousands of years ago? Discuss this in groups. क्या मनुष्य अन्य मनुष्यों जो हज़ारों वर्ष पहले जीवित थे. के सामने झुकते हैं? समूह में चर्चा कीजिए

Ans. Yes. humans kneel to other humans who lived thousands of years ago as it is a cultural tradition to respect elder persons. These persons could be their ancestors, saints or preachers whom they follow religiously.

(Students can discuss their own culture with their classmates and share the rituals and traditions of their culture and also get to know about other cultural practices).

4. What are the ‘tokens’ that the poet says he may have dropped long ago and which the animals have kept for him? Discuss this in class. (Hint: Whitman belongs to

the Romantic tradition that includes Rousseau and Wordsworth, which holds that civilisation has made humans false to their own true nature. What could be the basic aspects of our nature as living beings that humans choose to ignore or deny?) वे ‘टोकन’ क्या है, जिन्हें कवि कहता है कि उसने सम्भवतः काफी लम्बे समय पहले गिरा दिया था एवं जो जानवरों ने उसके लिए रखे हैं? कक्षा में चर्चा कीजिए। (संकेत व्हिटमैन साहित्य की रोमांटिक परम्परा से थे, जिसमें रूसों एवं वर्डस्वर्थ भी सम्मिलित हैं। जो यह मानते हैं कि सभ्यता ने मनुष्य को स्वयं के स्वभाव के प्रति झूठा बना दिया है। जीवित प्राणियों के रूप में हमारे स्वभाव के कौन-से मूल पहलू हैं, जिन्हें मनुष्य नकारते अथवा नजरअन्दाज करते हैं? )

Ans. The tokens mentioned in the poem refer to the virtues and values possessed by animals. These virtues represent the true nature of human beings which humans have lost now. These are tokens of values such as kindness, innocence,

self-containment, satisfaction, sharing, etc. The poet, Walt Whitman belongs to the Romantic tradition of literature. He along with various other poets/authors believed

that the virtues mentioned above represent the true nature of man and how man should be. However, with civilisation and development man has denied or ignored them. Humans now have become full of false values such as selfishness, greed, possessiveness, etc. They have forgotten

their true characteristics that animals have still retained.
