Question

Explain the concluding lines of the poem Postcard from Kashmir 'a gaint negative,black and white,'still undeveloped.

Answer 1

Answer:

“giant and negative”: the two adjectives help contrast the shrunken, idealized Kashmir in the postcard with the giant, grim one in reality.

“Black and white”: a metonymy for things happened in the past. It contrasts the stark colour on the postcard.

The last sentence of the poem is filled with quite a number of commas. This structure reflects that memories are just pieces of flashbacks and feelings that tangle together. However enchanting his memories are, they are indeed messy and will gradually fade.
