Question

“All three stood still to smile through their hair

At the uncle with the camera. A sweet face,My mother’s, that was before I was born.

And the sea, which appears to have changed less,

Washed their terribly transient feet.”

1.What does ‘three’ refer to?

2. When and where was the photograph taken?

3. Bring out the comparison between the sea and the ‘feet’
PLEASE HELP ​

Answer 1

1. Three women

2. It was taken near the sea.

3. The feet could feel the life present in the sea.

These questions are taken from "The Photograph."

• The 'Three' women in the photograph were the poet's mothers and aunts named Dolly and Betty.
• They were having fun in the sea when the photo was captured by an uncle near the sea.
• By using 'Transient feet," the poet wants to tell the audience about the impermanence of life.
