why has the mother been compared to the 'late winters moon'? flamingo eng class xii poem 1 my mother at 66​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet's mother has been compared to the late winter's moon to bring out the similarity of ageing and decay. The late winter moon looks hazy and obscure. It lacks shine and strength. The poet's mother has an 'ashen' face resembling a corpse.
