how does the poet describe the family house in the poem ecology 100 to 150 words
Answers
Answer:
The poet says that for a number of years, during every first rain (probably the beginning of summer season), he finds his mother suffering from blinding migraine i.e. unbearable fever because of three Red Champak Trees which are a mile away from the poet’s house.
During the summer season, the Red Champak Trees’ flowers bloom which then releases yellow pollen grains in the air which according to the poet spread like clouds throughout the street or in other words throughout the area.
The pollen grains remain suspended in the air and thus do not allow the wind to get pure. It remains filled with their fragrance.
In the next line, the poet says that no door can shut out i.e. prevent the pollens from entering into their black-pillared house. According to the poet, his house walls had ears and eyes, scales, smells, bone-creaks, nightly, visiting voices, and were porous like humans.
The poet personifies the house saying that like us it is also suffering from the bombardment of pollen-grains that are coming inside it through the holes which are like the pores of the human body.
