Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, the poet has tender feeling towards the goblet.

•    The poet describes how the goblet felt so vulnerable while the potter's warm hands molded it into a goblet. The poet felt that a great sorrow or tragedy had been cast upon the goblet.

•    The poet says that the goblet in its final form has become fragile and easy to be broken into pieces.

•    The poet also mentions how the goblet laments over his past form which was just earth. The goblet felt that its natural form was the best as it had nothing to be fearful of.
