She asks the fishermen to gather the nets and set their catamarans free and set out into the sea to gather the leaping wealth of the tide as they are the kings of the sea. She asks the fisher folks not to delay and quickly set forth in the track of the sea gulls call. She comforts the folks by saying that the sea is their mother, the cloud is their brother and the waves toss their boats at sunset and drive them far, God who controls the storm will protect their lives from its rage. She also says that the coconut glade gives shade and the sweet fragrance of the mango grove is soothing. Moreover the sight of the sands on a full moon night is very beautiful, mixed with the voices of the birds early at dawn. But beyond all this, the kiss of the spray and the dance of the wild foam in joy is far sweeter. So she asks the fisher folks to row their catamaran to the edge of the borders, the horizon, where the low sky appears to unite with the sea.

Answer» An old woman, who is a self appointed tourist guide, offers her service to all the pilgrims. She promises the narrator to take him to the horse shoeshrine. But the narrator who had already seen the horse shoe shrine was not interested. When the old woman insisted the narrator, he got very much irritated and turned angrily to scold and send away the old woman. He wanted to end the mockery show. But he saw the determination and honesty in her eyes. Her eyes were like “bullet holes”, empty and unseeing. He noticed her miserable being in her eyes. Her cracked skin around her eyes seemed to spread to the landscape around her, to the hills, the temples and even the sky. He noticed that even the whole world around him has fallen apart but the old woman stood like a rock for her values. This shows her determination and will to survive against all odds. Initially the narrator was unmoved and indifferent towards the old woman’s condition, but later, though late, a realization dawns upon him and feels very humbled and insignificant by this experience. He undergoes a change in attitude after this. He was reduced to so much small like the change in her hand. The poet finally feels that the society itself is responsible for the plight of the beggar- like situation, of the old woman.
