Answer 2

Answer:

1) Eye impressions of the Peacock which are devoid of eyelids

2) As an act of blinking of eyes

Explanation:

• The extract is from the poem "The Peacock" by the poet Sujata Bhatt.

• This poem is focused on the beauty of the peacock, especially the vivid impressions on the feathers, and the eyes when it fans its tail.

1)

• The poet praises the eye impressions of the peacock by describing them as violet fringed with golden amber.

• These sparkling or dark glowing eyes remain always open and never blink since they are lacking eyelids.

2)

• The poet compares the shaking of feathers with the blinking of eyes. As if the eyes on the feathers won't blink any other way but only by shaking the feathers.

• The peacock gathers its feathers as an act or signal of blinking (just like a tail.)
