There was a pause as cars hooted on the road, jutka drivers swore at their horses and the babble of the crowd agitated the semi-darkness of the park. The other sat down, sucking his cheroot, puffing out, sat there ruthlessly. The astrologer felt very uncomfortable.

"Here, take your anna back. I am not used to such challenges. It is late for me today…. He made preparations to bundle up. The other held his wrist and said, "You can't get out of it now. You dragged me in while I was passing." The astrologer shivered in his grip; and his voice shook and became faint. "Leave me today. I will speak to you tomorrow." The other thrust his palm in his face and said, "Challenge is challenge. Go on." The astrologer proceeded with his throat

Q 2      Q2) Write Poetic Appreciation of the poem of the extract given below                            04

 

                                  “Canst hear,” said one, “the breakers roar?
                                   For methinks we should be near the shore.”
                                  “Now, where we are I cannot tell,
                                    But I wish we could hear the Inchcape Bell.”
They hear no sound, the swell is strong,
Though the wind hath fallen they drift along;
Till the vessel strikes with a shivering shock,
“Oh Christ! It is the Inchcape Rock!”
                                 Sir Ralph the Rover tore his hair,
                                 He curst himself in his despair;
                                 The waves rush in on every side,
                                 The ship is sinking beneath the tide.
But even is his dying fear,
One dreadful sound could the Rover hear;
A sound as if with the Inchcape Bell,
The Devil below was ringing his knell.
