Ans: Counting to twelve and being silent for a moment will provide us with an opportunity for quiet introspection. This moment of silence will be a unique moment without the mad rush of modern life and without language-created distinctions when we can for once feel a strange sense of togetherness. This would be the moment when no man would be involved in the destruction of nature through wars or other activities.

(c) The poet wants the war-mongers who prepare for war with gas and fire and destroy the world to consider in a moment of silence that their victory will be without survivors. Therefore, the poet wants them to give up wars and cleanse their hearts of hatred and wear clean clothes. Here clean clothes are the symbol of purity of mind.

AHSEC| CLASS 12| ENGLISH| CHAPTER - 7| KEEPING QUIET| SOLVED QUESTIONS FOR 5 MARK EACH| H.S. 2ND YEAR

KEEPING QUIET

Solved questions for 5 mark each:

(A) LONG ANSWER:

1. What will 'counting to twelve' and 'standing still' help us to accomplish?

Ans: To 'count to twelve' and 'to be still' for a moment, according to Pablo Neruda, is essential for quiet introspection and for creating a sense of mutual understanding among human beings in the busy cycle of life.

A moment of silence and stillness without the hustle and bustle of modern life would be a 'wonderful moment' creating a strange feeling of being with all the people of the world. This will help us to know the cause of our suffering and the emptiness that has filled our lives.

2. Do you think the poet advocates complete inaction and death?

Ans: By asking to remain silent and still for a moment, the poet is not advocating inaction or death. He does not believe in passivity. For him life is a 'moving' process and therefore he does not want to associate it with death. He asks us to remain calm and still for just a moment because He wants us to introspect so that we can realize what life really is. In today's fast-paced lifestyle, we do not care for our fellowmen and instead run single-mindedly after material achievements. A moment of silence and stillness will help us understand the cause of sadness and the void that has filled our lives. Only in quiet introspection can we feel this emptiness.

3. What symbol of nature does the poet include to say that there can be life under apparent stillness?

Ans: In his poem "Keeping Quiet," Pablo Neruda used the example of Mother Earth to show that life can exist under apparent stillness. Everything on the earth appears lifeless in winter. But in reality, life goes on in silence and in spring we find that what seemed dead in winter is coming to life. Mother Earth silently nurtures and nurtures life. With the example of the earth the poet claims that keeping silent is neither death nor inaction. It is necessary to introspect our activities.
