A
"Ode on a Grecian Urn"
B
"A Letter to Wordsworth"
C
"A Letter to [Asra]"
D
"Dejection: A Poem"
উত্তরের বিবরণ
Original Form: The poem began as a personal verse-letter addressed to Sara Hutchinson, with whom Coleridge shared a close emotional connection.
Content of the Letter: In this draft, Coleridge expressed his melancholy, unfulfilled longing, and loss of creative inspiration, directly speaking to her.
Revision into an Ode: Coleridge later transformed it into “Dejection: An Ode” (1802), shaping it into a lyrical and reflective poem. This version universalizes his emotions, linking personal grief to broader themes of nature, imagination, and the poet’s inner state.
Significance: The transformation allowed the poem to move from a private lament to a public meditation on dejection and creative loss, while retaining its emotional intensity.

মেরিনারের জাহাজ ডুবে যাওয়ার সময় প্রচণ্ড শব্দে চারদিক কেঁপে ওঠে। পাইলট ভয় পেয়ে ভাবে সে ভূত দেখছে। মেরিনারের কণ্ঠস্বর তাকে আরও আতঙ্কিত করে তোলে।

Which of the following phrases from the poem best represents a paradox or a juxtaposition of opposites?
Created: 1 day ago
A
"gardens bright with sinuous rills"
B
"a damsel with a dulcimer"
C
"a sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice"
D
"forests ancient as the hills"
Why “sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice” is the correct answer (Paradox/Contradiction):
-
Contradictory Elements:
-
Combines two mutually exclusive images: a sunlit, warm pleasure-dome and cold, subterranean ice caves.
-
Physically and logically impossible in reality, creating a paradoxical image.
-
-
Juxtaposition of Opposites:
-
The contrast emphasizes the dreamlike and fantastical nature of the poem.
-
Reflects Romantic imagination, where emotional, spiritual, and visionary truths override literal realism.
-
-
Thematic Significance:
-
Highlights the tension between human order (the dome) and untamed natural forces (the ice caves).
-
Suggests that human creation cannot fully control or contain the primal, mysterious powers of nature and imagination.
-
This paradox enriches the mystical, visionary atmosphere and reinforces Coleridge’s Romantic ideals.
