What does the word ‘cardboard’ denote in the poem? Why has this word been used?

Answer»

The word ‘cardboard’ means a very stiff and thick paper. Here the cardboard is a part of the frame that keeps the photograph intact. Its use in the poem is ironical. It keeps the photograph of that twelve-year-old girl safe who herself was ‘terribly transient’. She had died years ago.
