Answer:
IMPORTANCE OF THE DRAMATIC COUNT TO TWELVE IN "KEEPING QUIET "
Counting to twelve and standing still helps us achieve a sense of togetherness. We will not be occupied with the mundane activities of life, but on the contrary, in the stillness of peace we will have time for introspection. Compare this state of being to the earth, which seems calm yet nurtures so much life upon it. The poet wants to begin his mission to give thought to our lives. He wants each of us to begin this practice on our own level. The poet in the poem "Keeping Quiet" counts to twelve because that length of time would allow everyone to calm down and be ready for introspection. The twelve in the poem has a special meaning as this number is associated with many things in our lives.
