Answers
The poem 'Cane-Bottom'd Chair is written by William Makepeace Thackeray. The poet tells about his collection of old memorable things. He has a snug little chamber which is full of things like old books, cheap keepsakes from friends, old armour, pictures, prints, pipes, chinaware which is cracked, old rickety tables, chairs with broken backs and many more things.
He is very fond of the creaking old sofa which is placed near the fire, and the rickety, ramshackle, wheezy spinet which plays wonderful music. But amongst all his possessions he loves the cane-bottom'd chair the most. He is not ready to exchange it even for the finest couch.
The chair is worn out, its feet are twisted and it has a creaking old back. The chair has been precious for the poet since the day Fanny sat on it. He feels that the chair would have experienced the thrill of holding Fanny in its arms. In the past, when Fanny sat on the chair he had wished that he could turn into a chair and experience the privilege the chair was enjoying.
The chair is very valuable for him, it is like the shrine of a saint or the throne of a prince. It is his beloved Fanny's chair.
The poet says that when he is alone he sits near the chair and imagines that Fanny is there. She is beautiful, tender and smiling.
Explanation:
William Makepeace Thackeray has written this poem in a very different manner. This poem has a total of fourteen stanzas. In the very first stanzas, the poet says of a day with tattered snickers that looks roasted in bars. There are fire and air that are pure.
“And the view I behold on a sunshiny day
Is grand through the chimney-pots over the way”
On that day, the poet states on the weather, and there is a grand chimney pot. There were old armour, prints, picture lines. There is a sofa that is being baked and to that, he takes a historical reference.
Now in the last part of the poem, the poet says, he would like to sit on his fanny cane-bottomed chair when will be staying alone. And at that time, she will come and sit on his chair. So, this is a historical poem where the poet creates several imageries.
