H.S 2ND YEAR POEM-4 A THING OF BEAUTY
Poet name: - John Keats
DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE POEM (IN ENGLISH)
In this poem, the poet tries to explain how a
beautiful thing is a joy forever. He says that the loveliness of a beautiful
thing never fades. We find in it new beauties as we watch it day after day. It
never passes into nothingness. It gives joy to the holder forever. A beautiful
thing is a kind of quiet bower that sends us to a sleep full of sweet dreams.
It gives us health of the body and peace of the mind.
The poet believes that man’s life on this
earth is nothing but a tale of grief and sorrow. There is sadness and gloom in
every heart. There is a terrible lack of truly noble hearts. Many mysterious
things happen that man fails to understand in spite of all efforts. None could
bear to live on such an earth. The poet says that it is beauty alone that takes
away the gloom from the human heart. It is a kind of flowery band that binds us
to the earth.
The poet lists some such beautiful things. He
says that we have the sun and the moon. There are big and small trees that give
cool shade for the simple sheep. There are lovely daffodils and cool clear
streams. There are musk roses that bloom in forests. Then there is also the
beauty of thoughts we have for the mighty dead. We imagine that they will be
suitably rewarded by God on the Day of Judgment. Then there are lovely tales of
olden days that we have heard or read.
The poet calls all these beauties an endless
fountain of immortal drink that heaven itself is pouring down for us. In other
words, God himself has created these beautiful things for us so that we can
derive joy from them during our stay on this earth.
कविता की विस्तृत
व्याख्या (हिन्दी में)
इस कविता में
कवि यह समझाने की कोशिश करता है कि एक खूबसूरत चीज हमेशा के लिए हमें खुशी कैसे देती
है। वह कहते हैं कि एक खूबसूरत चीज का प्यार(सुन्दरता) कभी फीका नहीं पड़ता। हम इसे नई- नई सुन्दरताएँ दिखाई देते हैं जब हम इसे दिन-प्रतिदिन देखते हैं। यह कभी भी अपने अस्तित्वा को खोती नहीं हैं । यह देखने वाले को हमेशा के लिए खुशी देता है। एक खूबसूरत चीज एक प्रकार का शांत बोवर है जो
हमें मीठे सपनों से भरी नींद में भेजती है। यह हमें शरीर और मन की शांति प्रदान करती है।
कवि का मानना
है कि इस पृथ्वी पर मनुष्य का जीवन दुख और उदासी की कहानी के अलावा कुछ नहीं है। हर दिल में उदासी और निराशा है। वास्तव में महान दिल वाले लोगों की भयानक कमी
है। कई रहस्यमय चीजें होती हैं जो आदमी सभी प्रयासों के बावजूद समझने
में विफल(असफ़ल) रहता है। ऐसी पृथ्वी पर रहने के लिए कोई भी सहन नहीं कर
सकता है। कवि कहता है कि यह अकेला सौंदर्य (सुंदरता ) ही है जो मानव
हृदय से निराशा को दूर करता है। यह एक तरह का
फूलदार बैंड है जो हमें पृथ्वी से बांधता है।
कवि ऐसी ही कुछ सुंदर बातों को सूची(LISTS) बनता हैं है। वह कहता है कि हमारे पास सूर्य और चंद्रमा हैं। बड़े और छोटे पेड़ हैं जो सरल भेड़ के लिए शांत
छाया देते हैं। वहाँ सुंदर नरगिस फूल daffodils और शांत ठंडी उज्जवल नदियाँ हैं। जंगलों में
खिलने वाले कस्तूरी (सफ़ेद) गुलाब हैं। फिर हमारे विचारों
की सुंदरता भी है जो मरे हुए शक्तिशाली वयक्तियों के बारे में है। हम कल्पना करते हैं कि न्याय के दिन उन्हें
ईश्वर द्वारा उचित रूप से पुरस्कृत किया जाएगा। इसके आलावा हमारे पास पुराने दिनों की
प्यारी दास्तां (कहानियाँ ) है जो हमने
सुनी या पढ़ी है।
कवि इन सभी
सूंदर चीजों को अलौकिक पेय का एक अनन्त झरना कहता हैं जो भगवान् ने खुद हमारे लिए
ही बनाया है। दूसरे शब्दों में, भगवान ने खुद हमारे लिए ये सुंदर चीजें बनाई
हैं ताकि हम इस पृथ्वी पर रहने के दौरान उनसे खुशी प्राप्त कर सकें।
