Explanation:
Tagore's "I cannot remember my mother" is a short poem packed with powerful aural and visual imagery.
Visual imagery refers to the scenes that the poet creates for the reader to visualise the exact settings of the poem. Descriptions of things, colours, sizes,etc. help create visual imagery. In this poem, the examples of visual imagery are:
1. the poet's toys lying and something ('a tune') circling over them.
2. the shuili flowers that his mother used during her prayers
3. the poet's mother looking at him
4. the beautiful blue sky
5. the rocking cradle
Aural imagery refers to imagery that help a reader imagine the sounds that the poet is talking about. It has to do with the sense of hearing. The examples are:
1. 'a tune' hovering over the poet's toys.
2. 'a tune of some song' that his mother used to sing to him.
3. possibly the sound of a cradle being rocked.
It is important to note how the poet has used visual and aural imagery together to create images that stay in the reader's mind for a long time.
