Memoriter Poem
THE LISTENERS
Is there anybody there? said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
Of the forest’s ferny floor: And a bird flew up out of the turret,
Above the Traveller’s head:
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
'Is there anybody there?' he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
No head from the leaf-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men:
Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,
That goes down to the empty hall,
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
By the lonely Traveller’s call.
Walter de la Mare

Discuss and Answer (Pg. 92)

To Dream the Impossible Dream
Don Quixote might be seen as not simply crazy in his refusal to see things as they really are
but more like a person who wants to accomplish a greater good and so refuses to compromise
his ideals. Examples of such people include Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther
King Jr.
Discuss (with examples and other evidence) whether or not they think Quixote deserves to
be put in the company of real-world idealists or is merely delusional.
Ans :
Don Quixote, though he skips the reality, fights for the welfare of his people. Its like our great
leaders Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther who stood for their people and were
ready to sacrifice their lives for them. The voluntariness of Don Quixote can be compared to the
leaders mentioned. The only difference is they lived in the reality but he didn’t. Apart from that
his activities are of real world idealists only.

It was the age of chivalry

It was mainly for show, love and glory

Oh, they would strike heavy blows

as crowds watched with abated breath.
Yes, it was far back in those days of yore
that courage and strength came to the fore
where there was this life and death struggle;
such issues at hand the knights would juggle.
And in fighting for their country, faith and king
noble impressions on people’s minds would ring
that even through the ages are held in high esteem (13)

CREATIVE WRITING (Pg. 105)

Concrete Poems
Concrete poems are made up of words that
have been placed in such a way that they make
the shape of an object and also use words to
describe the object.
Start by making a simple outline of the
shape or object (an animal, a football, a fruit
etc.) large enough to fill a piece of paper.
Then brainstorm a minimum of ten words
and phrases that describe the shape. List
action and feeling words as well.
Next, place a piece of paper over the shape
and decide where your words are going to be
placed so that they outline your shape but also
fit well together.
Separate words and phrases with commas.
E. Now read the poem and pick out the nouns. Then write your own concrete poem. (Pg.105)

C. Think and Answer. (Pg. 109)

1. What challenges does Alice face and how does she overcome them?
Alice’s journey into the wonderland seems to be a difficult one. Yet she faces the situations
bravely. Alice also encounters Mad Hatter’s riddles which keeps her puzzled. She couldn’t
solve it as the riddle having no meaning. Later Alice finds the Queen of Hearts playing croquet
and joins the game, where she has trouble with the flamingo. Finally Alice is falsely accused
that she was guilty of stealing the delicious heart shaped tarts. Alice tries to assert her
innocence honestly and is finally relieved from the stress when she is woken up by her sister.
2. Have you ever had a strange dream? Share your dream in the class.
Last week as I hit the bed after watching the ‘Lion king’ movie, I fell into a deep sleep. In my
dream I found myself standing on the top of a huge rock. Below the rock I found a vast piece
of land on which many animals had gathered to see me. The lion king walked from behind
me and introduced me to the animals. They all made noises of different kind as a symbol of
greeting. The guarding lions took me around the jungle and showed me many places like the
chocolate river. candy house, creamy clouds, milky falls. I was excited to see all of them and
return home, as my little baby brother woke me up by crying.

I t’s fun to help out in the kitchen. You can even practice reading aloud when reading the

items to make that are “Alice” themed.
Rabbit Salad
In this recipe, you will create a salad shaped like a rabbit.
➢ Start by washing some lettuce leaves. You will be using them as the base for the salad.
Spread the leaves on top of a plate.
TERM - II 130
➢ or the rabbit body: You will need half of a fresh or canned pear. If you have a whole
F
pear, cut it in half lengthwise. This will be the body you will decorate.
➢ To create the rabbit’s nose: use a cherry or some red-coloured, dried fruit, like a cranberry.
Place it in the middle of the narrow part of the pear.
➢ Now you can add the eyes. Take 2 raisins and put them just above the nose on the
narrow part of the pear.
➢ Next, the rabbit will need its ears. Use 2 almonds or other nut of choice and stick them
into the pear above the eyes.
➢ Lastly, all rabbits need a tail. Take a small piece of cauliflower and place it at the rear of
the wide end of the pear half. For a sweeter version, use a mini marshmallow.

CONNECTING TO SELF
G. Tackling the Issues (Pg. 110)
Ask the class to discuss solutions to an issue that plagues contemporary society at large or
just your community—for example, homelessness, violence, environmental degradation, hunger.
Half the class should mention idealistic solutions to the chosen issue; the other half should
mention only realistic approaches to solving the problem.
See if, in listening to both sides, someone can come up with a proposal that is both realistic
and unconventional—an idea that hasn’t been tried yet.

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

III. Paragraph
What message does the poet convey through the poem sea fever? (or)
What is the poem ‘sea fever by Jonh Masefield’ about? (or)
What is the theme of the poem Sea fever?
John Masefield’s sea fever is perhaps his most well-known work and describes the
poet’s longing to go to sea. Being a sailor, he enjoyed the loneliness and quiet environment
of the sea. In the poem, sea fever, Masefield expresses his desire for sailing once again in
the quiet sea, under the quiet sky. He expresses his desire for the need of a well built ship
to sail and a star in the dark sky to act as a guide. Soon the adventures would begin and as
each day dawns, he wakes up to see the early grey mist rise from the sea. The last stanza
explains that the poet would like to be a wandering gypsy, however he would miss the sea
gulls and his fellow men at the deck, listening to tales and good and silent sleep which drifts
into a sweet dream. This poem clearly shows how Masefield had enjoyed his days on the
sea and he would like to have a part of it, even after he has left far behind following his
passions.

This special guide is prepared

Vivek Illam, No. 19, Raj Nagar, N.G.O. ‘A’ Colony,

Is there anybody there? said the Traveller,

Knocking on the moonlit door;

And his horse in the silence champed the grasses

Above the Traveller’s head:

And he smote upon the door again a second time;

'Is there anybody there?' he said.

But no one descended to the Traveller;

No head from the leaf-fringed sill

Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,

Where he stood perplexed and still.

But only a host of phantom listeners

That dwelt in the lone house then

Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight

To that voice from the world of men:

Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,

That goes down to the empty hall,

Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken

By the lonely Traveller’s call.
