      @@Aishwarya0130 you have no idea how good it is that you read the poems by yourself first. Now you are so young so you are feeling this way. But soon you will grow independent and your confidence will grow. As you will grow in age, life will teach you how to look differently at things that you are reading now. And then, one day, you will be teaching others how to see differently.

    Ma'am beauty is that is felt through the by and far of anything. It wouldn't be a momentary manifestation. Beauty is acceptance. Beauty is approval. Beauty is recognition. Anything that is served is beautiful in some context. Like the beautiful pristine white Mercedes is dirty at the wheels. The mirror glasses on either sides might reflect a hungry beggar and a bloodshed accident but does the Mercedes lose its Beauty?? No. Because life is beautiful in its own essence. The reflections are meant for acceptance. Everything is beautiful..
    And happy holi Ma'am. Continue spreading the Beauty of your knowledge in the same colorful way you doing.
    Lots of love and respect 🙏 ❤

    Given how famous this poem is, as well as the fact Eliot explained the Waste Land was inspired by From Ritual to Romance which heavily refences the Golden Bough, it's weird that so many exegetes *only* see the Chaucer reference in "April is the cruelest month..." The lilac is a fairly clear reference to the nymph Syringa. Pan chased her until she decided to turn into a shrub to evade him. As this sort of assault is one of the main themes, if not THE main theme, of the Waste Land, *and* Eliot also ironically references the Ode to the Nightingale with the change of Philomela, I'm shocked that more people don't automatically realize April is the cruelest month because it is a celebration of animal (and human) sacrifices.

    Hello ma'am, I really find your videos very useful for me and the way you explain is amazing. If a lecturer like you are there, no argument that lit would be my most favourite subject. I like to study under your guidance.
    I highly appreciate if you can make a video on "A beautiful young nymph going to bed" and "A satirical elegy on the Death of a Late Famous General" by Jonathan Swift as I am getting ready for an exam on this 26th.
    And waiting for your explanation on "To Autumn" too. Coz we have Keats' three odes ; Ode to a Nightingale, Ode on a Grecian urn and "To Autumn" as well.
    Thank you very much for your greatly explained videos..🙏🙏🙏🙏

      Can we say that on is used for the fact that Keats is not talking with the urn in person instead he is just talking about the urn to any undesignated listener or audience.
