Question

Why did the poet did not console the boy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the poet, it is useless to console the boy by saying that he can get another ball in place of the lost one. The boy had a long association with the ball. It was, thus, useless to give him such a suggestion because he wanted to get back the ball that he had lost.

The poet did not console the boy for two reasons-

• The boy was too shocked and grief-stricken to listen to any one.
• The poet also observed that the boy was trying to stand up or bear the loss on his own through self-understanding which is much more reflective and lasting.

The poet's or anybody else's consoling would not be that affective.
