Dear students
Here I'm sending the answer of poem
'THE LOST DANCE OF CRANES'
Understanding the Poem
A. 1. The speaker is addressing the cranes. The word ‘ghosts’ in the second line indicates that they are
already dead.
2. The two dances refer to the dance of the birds that could once be seen in the fields and the dance
of the urban machines that are used in constructing cities. The birds’ dance represents the beauty
of nature while the machines represent the destruction of this beauty.
3. ‘Fading crackle of energy’ and ‘some grainy video footage’ is all that is left of the cranes. The words,
‘all that remains’ indicates that very little is left of the cranes, and the words ‘fading’ and ‘grainy’ tell
us that those remains are in very poor condition.
4. People in the ‘new cities’ view / listen to the poor quality audio/video material. They are seen to
marvel at the energetic mating dance of the cranes. But this image is one of the past when the
birds used to arrive in due season to breed.
Their reaction is one of joy and wonder which is in sharp contrast to the poet’s reaction.
The poet is warning the readers about a bleak future The image of the blurred video-clipping of
the dance of the cranes is a sad reminder of the natural pattern of life that we are sacrificing to
our misplaced zeal for urbanisation.
B. 1. Yes, the city-dwellers also appreciate the beauty of nature.
2. Although the city-dwellers marvel at nature, their fascination remains superficial and they do not
feel as connected to nature as the speaker because they have not had a firsthand experience with
birds. They may miss the videos but will not be as deeply affected as the speaker.
