Name and explain the figures of speech : Q.Into that heaven of freedom ,my father,let my country awake
Answers
A figure of speech occurs when a word oh group of words have a meaning beyond the literal. In the case of Tagori's poem, figures of speech
"the head is held high": This can literally mean that people are going around with their heads held high, but it stands as a metaphor for the idea of the Indian people regaining their pride and no longer being abject under British rule.
"Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls": Obviously, walls don't literally break the world into fragments. This metaphor means that people must transcend their petty differences and think beyond the needs of themselves and their immediate family.
"Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection": Abstract concepts like striving don't literally have arms, but the personified image of stretching one's arms to reach a goal does seem to describe what striving feels like.
