Question

keeping quiet
class 12​

Answer 1

Hi,

here u go with ur answer..

(a)The poet asked his reader to keep still because he wants them to introspect themselves.

(b)The poet suggests that there is life in nature under apparent stillness through the example of the earth which seems dead but later proves to be alive. The earth is a living creature but it keeps still and does not make a noise, we do not need proof for its life because it gives life to everything around it and on it.

(c)Whenever man has used his arms he has caused undue harm to others. So the poet uses the phrase, ‘not to move our arms so much’ to emphasise the importance of physical inactivity to lessen destruction caused by man in the world. This can make us all together.
