KEKI N. DARUWALLA: WOLF The Explanation of the Poem WOLF The poem begins with a vague image of a form, a figure or silhouette lurking in the dark, in the wilderness as though it were hiding under the cover of darkness. This form is that of a wolf that haunted the imagination and thoughts of the poet as a child. Thus, the imagined presence of a wolf occupied the poet‟s mind as a child as wolves were known to be hunted down at night by men. This imaginary wolf prowls in the dark with careful and calculated movements out in the dark and falls asleep on a bed of leaves, by resting its snout on its paws. The presence of the wolf (whether it is in the dark outside the poet‟s home or in the poet‟s imagination) happens to stir up an amazing sense of wonder and bewilderment in him. The poet describes the radiating presence of the wolf to a lit fire and to an unknown or unknowable myth. The mysterious form of a wolf (in trouble) captures the mind of the child in a very powerful way that it seeps („nudges‟) into the consciousness of the child. You may very well imagine how certain mysterious aspects create a deep impression and reside in the crater of the mind in little children for a very long time. In the same way, the poet reminisces how as a child, he had been haunted by the ringing cries of wolves at night. These cries were probably not the usual howling of wolves but the painful ones when they were hunted down. It might have confused the child on how such a splendid animal as a wolf who had the freedom of prowling around its territory and hunting its own food (“wind-sniffer, throat-catcher”) was now a victim of the human world suffering the fate of the „hunted‟. Earlier, wolves were hunted not as much for game as for human security in the villages. The poet‟s village home was at the edge of a forest and perhaps, for this reason the cries of the wolves were clearly audible to him as a child. In the days of his childhood, his mother would often narrate to him bed-time stories of wolves, describing how the sensitive ears of the wolves would pick up signals or any movements in its territory at midnight, out in the cold when dewdrops fell in the silence of the forest. You may perhaps know how animals are gifted with the sense of smell whether for their food or for their sense of security. The poet remembers how his mother would tell him of wolves sniffing into his dreams and leaving in him a sense of emptiness as she tries to put him to sleep
