2. Why did Ernest think the poet was like the Stone Face?
Answers
Ernest thought that the poet was like the stone face because he read his poems and thought that the thoughts of the poet are so noble that the poet is worthy of resembling great stone face
Answer:
The poet wrote beautiful songs and he celebrated the Great Stone Face in one of his poems. The songs of this poet found their way to Ernest. Ernest would read his poems and songs with great interest after his customary day at work and found them worthy of appreciation. When the poet came to visit Ernest, he gently looked at the wise and kind-hearted soul. As the poet talked to him, Ernest imagined that even the Great Stone Face would have looked so hospitably at a stranger and leaned forward to listen to their conversation. In due course, the poet pointed out that Ernest was indeed reading the poems written by him. After reading his poems, Ernest was convinced that the poet had a likeness to the Great Stone Face.
