Question

1.On a stone chair in the marketplace Sits a stone gentleman with a stone face He is great, he is good, he is old as old- How many years I’ ve not been told. Great things he did a great while ago, And what they were I do not know. But solemn and sad is his great square face As he sits high up on his square stone base. 2. Day after day he sits just so, With some words in a foreign tongue below. Whether the wind blows warm or cold, His stone clothes alter never a fold, One stone hand he rests on his knee; With the other stone hand he points at me Oh, why does he look at me in just that way? I’m afraid to go, and afraid to stay; Stone gentleman, what have you got to say? 1.1 Based on your reading of the poem, answer the following questions: (1X5=5) Who sits on a stone chair? Is the poet aware of the great deeds of the ‘stone gentleman’? How do you know? What are the emotions depicted on the ‘stone’ face? How do we know that the great man did not belong to the same country as the onlooker? Write the poetic device used in the third line of the second stanza.
