Question

Why does the image of a laltern cross the authors mind at the sight of Stephen Hawking?​

Answer 1

Because the poet could sense the light of the inner character of Stephen Hawking as the poet described his body as a wall so thin that the inner glow of Stephen Hawking’s personality penetrated from his bony structure and came in the of the author. This symbolises that the inner beauty of a n entity is far more important that the external presence.
