Question

What is the theme of the poem the comet written by norman littleford

Answer 1

The poem titled “The Comet” depicts the movement and the impacts of a comet on the earthly life in a charming poetic style. It encompasses the beauty and details of the phenomenon associated with the fall of a comet from the heavens on the earth. The poet speculates its departure from somewhere in the heavens and talks about its continuous journey which it conducts without any stoppage. He thinks that the spectacle of watching a full bright comet is mesmerizing and incomparable with any other on the earth.


He compares it with the speed of a cheetah and finds it faster than him. He adds that the tail of a comet is much larger than a cheetah and it may extend up to many miles. It seems to be much greater and stronger than mountains even.


Then, the poet discusses the falling comet scientifically and identifies the scientific reason of the trail that it leaves behind. He says that the melting of the ice in the outer surface of comet results in the formation of a trail on its way.


He, also, informs the reader about the devastating impact of its closeness to the earth as it may cause earthquakes. He also discusses the scientific point of view as scientists state that the chemicals found in the dust of the comet might have resulted in the start of life on the earth.  

The poet does not validate the theory but he insists that he has not seen any scene which may surpass the beauty of this spectacle.
