What does the poet mean by utter utter stillness ? In the poem moon wind by ted Hughes.
Answers
In this poem, the poet provides us with a very strange picture of the wind that he imagines to be present on the moon.
There is no wind on the moon at all
Yet things get blown about.
He then goes on to point out that the wind seems to be howling all over the moon's surface but it is doing so in utter stillness. This is very strange indeed and rather like using phrases such as, bright darkness, dark sunlight or cold flames! Can you think of any other opposites or absurd pairs?
In the poem we also come across very unusual things such as a squall of cabbages and a somersaulting giraffe. Here we see how the poet has used his imagination to create completely new images with which to amuse and startle us.
Moon Wind by Ted Hughes is full of poet's fantasy imagery. He imagines that if there were earth-like life on moon, everything would be blown by the strong wind blowing there. ...
•The poet imagines that the moon wind is so strong that it could rip apart anything held by roots, nails and screws.....
•In this poem, the poet tells us about the wind that blows on the moon. The author mentions many strange things that are happening on the moon. He says that there isn't any wind on the moon but then also things get blown away. And also there's no wind then also the candle shivers out. This way he tries to illustrate many things happening there and at last concludes by saying that nothing can resist the moon's dead still blast; It is dead as it is nor blowing nor moving, it is silent.
{thus, the whole poem is written in imagination that this may happen in future.}
