Question

"Its silence silences", says the poet. The loss of her mother has silenced her. Elaborate.

Answer 1

This expression from the poem ‘The Photograph’ by Shirley

Toulson means the truth and mystery of the poet’s mother’s death fills him with

sadness. The constant pain she experiences on account of her loss makes her

silent. She is unable to solve the mystery about death. She can’t do anything about

it. Whenever she remembers her mother, she just becomes silent with the pain

that followed after her mother’s death.
