Answer 2

To Prove:

There can be life under apparent stillness in the poem " keeping quiet".

Explanation:

• The poem 'Keeping Quiet' by Pablo Neruda gives us the idea that even in absolute stillness, we can enjoy the taste of life.
• As there is no rhyming scheme in the poem, we can say that it is free verse.
• The poem is diversified by several poetic devices, for example, Anaphora, Metonymy, Alliteration, Assonance, Symbolism, and Extended Metaphor.
• The poet gives us the example of Earth and explains that even if it seems everything is still and inactive, there’s still some activity in the background to show that it’s alive.
• On the earth in winter and even during calm nights, everything seems to be frozen and still, but eventually the world never stopped.
• We know, that even on calm nights some men are working, women are taking care of the house and many more activities are still going on.
• So, The poet suggests that we should learn from the Earth and keep still introspecting for some time, while still being alive beneath this stillness.

Hence Proved.
