Answer 1

In the poem How Pleasant to Know Mr. Lear, the poet has sketched a pen portrait of Mr. Lear.

In the first stanza the poet says it is very pleasant to know Mr. Lear. He has written many volumes on something. Some people think is ill-tempered and unusual; a few think him he is quite pleasant.

In the second stanza the poet says Mr. Lear’s mind can focus on facts and figures, not on abstract concepts. He is very particular about keeping things in order around him. His face is very ugly; and his beard resembles a wig.

Like all other human beings, he also has two years, two eyes, and ten fingers. His thumbs don’t look like thumbs; they look like fingers. He used to be a singer once. However, he is quite dimwit now.

He sits in a room surrounded by hundreds of books. He also has many friends. Some of them are ordinary men and women and some are clericals. He has a cat named Foss. He is rotund and wears a hat with sharp edge.

When he walks in waterproof white dress, children run after him making fun of him and call him crazy.

He often remains sad and weeps by the ocean and on the top of the hill; he likes pancakes, lotion, and chocolate shrimps.

He is an avid reader but does not speak much. He does not like  ginger beer; but after the pilgrimage is over, he likes it.

It is really very pleasant to know Mr. Lear.
