উত্তরের বিবরণ
In “Dejection: An Ode”, Coleridge stresses that nature’s beauty is not inherently sufficient to inspire or uplift—it requires a receptive, emotionally alive mind:
-
Inner emotional state as the key: The speaker observes that while the natural world remains “sweet” and vibrant, his own grief and lack of imaginative power prevent him from experiencing its beauty.
-
Loss of creative and emotional vitality: The poem portrays a condition where external stimuli (nature, light, sound) cannot penetrate the speaker’s dejection, showing that the aesthetic experience is inseparable from the observer’s inner life.
-
Romantic principle: This aligns with Romantic thought, which sees subjective emotion and imaginative engagement as central to perceiving and responding to the sublime in nature.

সাগরের সাপগুলির সৌন্দর্য উপলব্ধি করে সে অজান্তেই তাদের আশীর্বাদ করে। এই ভালোবাসা থেকেই তার প্রার্থনা করার ক্ষমতা ফিরে আসে এবং গলা থেকে আলবাট্রসটি খসে পড়ে।

What is the overall structure of Kubla Khan often considered?
Created: 1 week ago
A
A completed epic
B
A pastoral lyric
C
A narrative ballad
D
A poetic fragment
“Kubla Khan” সাধারণত একটি fragment বা অসম্পূর্ণ কবিতা হিসেবে বিবেচিত হয়। কোলরিজ নিজেই বলেছেন যে আফিম–ঘুম থেকে উঠে তিনি স্বপ্নে যা লিখতে চেয়েছিলেন, তা অসমাপ্ত থেকে যায়। ফলে এটি একটি অসম্পূর্ণ কিন্তু বিস্ময়কর কল্পনার খণ্ডচিত্র। এই অসম্পূর্ণতাই কবিতার রহস্য ও সৌন্দর্য বাড়িয়ে দিয়েছে।

The direct address, "O Lady!" and "O pure of heart!", is an example of which poetic device?
Created: 1 day ago
A
Metaphor
B
Simile
C
Alliteration
D
Apostrophe
Poetic Device: Apostrophe
Why:
-
An apostrophe occurs when a speaker addresses someone or something that is not present, cannot respond, or is abstract.
-
In Dejection: An Ode, the speaker addresses Sara Hutchinson with exclamations like “O Lady!” and “O pure of heart!”. She is not physically present, making this a direct, imaginative address.
-
This device allows the poet to express personal feelings, philosophical reflections, and emotional intensity.
-
Apostrophe is common in odes, where the poet often speaks to a person, idea, or abstract concept.
It effectively turns the ode into a heartfelt, intimate soliloquy.
