What message is conveyed by the poem A Photograph
Answers
Answer:
The poem, The Photograph is about transience
of human life, death, and mysteries surroundings them. The poet is looking at
the photograph of her mother and missing her. The photograph depicts the scene of
her mother’s childhood when she along with her cousins, Betty, Dolly, and uncle had gone to the beach. The uncle
had clicked this photograph.
Many years later after the poet was
born and grown up into a young lady, her mother and she would look at the photograph; the mother
used to laugh at her childhood photograph.
After a few more years, the poet’s
mother died. The poet still preserved that photograph. Now she would look at
the photograph and miss her mother’s laughter at her own photograph. The poet
felt the sea-holiday was her mother’s past; and her mother’s laughter had
become her past now.
She also makes mention of man’s
transience on the sands of life. When she thinks about all this she becomes miserably
quiet with the sadness of separation from her mother.

____________________________
The poetess through the poem photograph conveys the message of impermanence of life. The poetess wanted to show that change is the only static thing in life. Photograph is not just a positive print recorded by a camera; it is rather the capturing those moments which one will never get back. Time changes all but the photograph remains all the same, in the face of transitoriness and susceptibility. Amidst this entire impermanence, a photograph is set as the supreme embodiment of memories. It states that death and decay are an essential part of life.
