Answers
The poem is written by the poet Walter DeLa Mare.
In this poem the Poet imagines himself to be the master of that glorious wonderland called Tartary. In this way he tries to satisfy his unfulfilled desires in a real life. The poem is a journey into the realm of imagination. The land of Tartary has been painted as a very far off,charming and ideal place. It is a beautiful,rich and fertile land full of unseen and unheard of delights. Like a mighty king the poet wishes to have an ivory bed and golden throne. His court will be decorated by beautiful creatures like peacocks. His forests will be full of tigers and his pool will contain big fish. He would rule over men and animals alike. As lord of Tartary he would enjoy great pomp and and show in his everyday life. The musicians would play beautiful music in his courtyard of his palace. The bugle will announce when his meals are ready. In evening his palace will be illuminated with lights yellow as hobey and red as wine. The poet also wishes to wear dresses of royalty. Early in the morning he would dress up like a king and his carriage would be ready to ride with seven zebras. Such heavenly place he would get the dream of his life.
