What does the poet compare ‘reason’ and ‘dead habits’ to ? |
|
Answer» The poet compares ‘reason’ to ‘a clear stream’. Here ‘clear stream’ is a metaphor. It stands for free flow of unrestricted thought. The poet says that people’s mind should be led by the power of reasoning to be focused on the future by applying scientific thought and action. And ‘dead habits’ are compared to agelong traditions and superstitions. Unless man discards them, he would not avail anything new and will not be out of fear. |
