Question

Why does the speaker compare the person to a dot in this line "You are more than the earth though you are such a dot : You can love and think and the earth can not

Answer 1

Answer:

The person is referred to a dot in the above lines because the world is massive and a specie is just so little. One human is a tiny little thing compared to this huge world with billions of people in it. Although, a person can think and the earth cannot, a person is really small in size compared to the earth.

Answer 2

Answer:

The man is little and small than the Earth. But Earth can't do anything and the man can do all works. That's why the poet compared a man with the earth.
