Question

Allusion is a figure of speech in which an object or circumstance briefly and indirectly refers to another person, place, thing or event. In the fifth stanza, the speaker alludes to two people. Find out who they are. What do these allusions convey? (Answer with reference to the poem "Imagination" by George Bernard Shaw)

I used to play at Pirates,

And sailed the seven seas.

Then I was a cowboy,

These simple things did me please.



I had a vivid imagination,

Adventure was always on my mind.

I discovered the joys of reading,

And escaped the daily grind.



Once I lived with the Eskimos,

In the land of ice and snow,

Went hunting and a fishing,

My fantasy was all aglow.



I read a book of Jules Verne,

And went off to the moon,

It was just to take a look,

Then it was time to return.



I spent time in the forests of Africa,

With Dr. Livingstone as my guide,

Then off again to America,

With Huckleberry Finn I did hide.



In my world of fantasy and imagination,

I performed such wonderful deeds.

A Hero of all the Nations,

I was the one that did succeed.



Then I grew up my childish world at an end.

I had become serious it nearly drove me around the bend.

I still do like the mysterious,

This is the message I am trying to send.
