DIRECTION: Read the given passage carefully and attempt the questions that follow:
He was a deeply subtle man, I know by now. With such natures it is usually a waste
of efforts to fence. The only way to speak face-to face is to be direct. I said that I had been
waiting for news of the Nobel Prize, and that I was very sorry. He started at me, and nodded
he didn’t pretend not to mind. He said something to the effect that it would be good to have.
Then, quite suddenly, he have a grim chuckle, and launched into an anecdote, possibly
22
apocryphal and certainly slanderous, about another unsuccessful candidate- not English-
speaking who had been bucking for the prize for years and years. He had left nothing to
chance. He had known all the rights boys (in frosts demonology, this probably meant some
of the enemies) he had been told that it was in the bag. The day of the election, he was sitting
with a horde of supporters. He had the champagne out on the table. He was waiting for the
telephone to ring. There was a long wait. A longer wait. At last the telephone did ring. He
hadn’t got it. He was told the name of the winner. It is impossible, he cried. It is impossible.
It is impossible. That was Ali he could think of, frost said, cheering himself up with malice.
But had happened
After that, he was quite gay. He talked about England. He was sensitive to his
audience. So that I was left under the impression that he had been a lifelong anglophile.
When I read his letters and his remarks about the British (a term he wouldn’t have used to
me) I wasn’t surprised about something but I was by those. May be, as I have suggested, he
had some to think better of us. He was enthusiastic about the common language- that was
essential thing. Then he spoke about what he called ‘the locative’ in art. Art who meant
anything to him was locative, rooted in a place, in the singularities of a place. We had a bit
of an argument. Temperamentally, I said, I was on his side. But locative arts needs
knowledge and patience to understand that was why cosmopolitan art, abstract art, traveled
further and faster. One didn’t have to know anything to read, say, kafka or Hemingway.
They had traveled round the world to an extent that Jane Austen or forester never would)
Frost wouldn’t have it. The greatest locative art transcended everything. It was organic, and
no other art could be. He still has immense stamina for argument, or rather for his oblique
interpretation of ideas. He would have gone on talking long after our hosts returned.
