03) A Tiger in the Zoo (Leslie Norris)
परीक्षा में Poetry भाग की किन्हीं भी दो Poems के नाम दिए जाते हैं, जिनमें से किसी एक Poem का Central Idea लिखना होता है। इसके लिए 4 अंक निर्धारित हैं।
A tiger in the zoo
In this poem, 'A Tiger in the Zoo' the poet tries to depict the poor condition of a caged tiger. He contrasts and compares the life of a caged tiger with a tiger living in natural habitat i.e. a jungle. Through the poem, the poet tries to convey that wild animals should be allowed to live freely in their natural habitat. Freedom is loved by all living beings and not just by human beings. The life of captivity breeds rage, intolerance and stress.
कविता, 'A Tiger in the Zoo' में कवि ने एक पिंजरे में बन्द बाघ की दरिद्र स्थिति का चित्रण करने का प्रयास किया है। वह पिंजरे में बन्द बाघ के जीवन की तुलना अपने प्राकृतिक परिवेश अर्थात् जंगल में रह रहे बाघ के जीवन से करता है। कविता के माध्यम से, कवि ने यह कहने का प्रयास किया है कि जंगली जानवरों को उनके प्राकृतिक परिवेश में स्वतन्त्र रुप से रहने की अनुमति देनी चाहिए। आजादी सभी जीवित प्राणियों को प्रिय है न कि केवल मनुष्यों को। अधीनता का जीवन क्रोध, असहिष्णुता तथा तनाव को जन्म देता है।
Q1. Notice the use of a word repeated in lines such as these .एक शब्द की पुनरावृत्ति पर ध्यान दीजिए जैसा कि इन पंक्तियों में है।
(i) On pads of velvet quiet, In his quiet rage. मखमल जैसे नर्म शान्त पंजों पर, उसके शान्त क्रोध में।
(ii) And stares with his brilliant eyes, At the brilliant stars.
और उसकी चमकदार आँखों से घूरता है, चमकदार सितारों को। What do you think is the effect of this repetition? आपके अनुसार इस पुनरावृत्ति का क्या प्रभाव है?
Ans. This repetition is a poetic device used by the poet in order to increase the intensity of the tiger's rage and his helpless silence. 'Velvet quiet' refers to the quiet velvet pads of the tiger, which cannot run. They can only walk around the limited space in the cage. The use of 'quiet rage' symbolises the anger and ferocity that is building up inside the tiger as it wants freedom, but the rage is quiet because he is locked in the cage and is helpless.
The repetition of 'quiet' has, thus, brought immense beauty to the poem. Similarly, the use of 'brilliant' for the tiger's eyes as well as the stars also brings out the magnificence of these lines. The tiger stares at the brilliant stars with his brilliant eyes dreaming about how beautiful his life could have been in the forest.
The repetition thus, gives a wonderful effect to the poem.
Q2. Read the following two poems one about a tiger and the other about a panther. Then discuss: Are zoos necessary for the protection or conservation of some species of animals? Are they useful for educating the public? Are there alternatives to zoos?
निम्न दो कविताओं जो एक बाघ के बारे में है एवं दूसरी तेन्दुए के बारे में है को पढ़िए। फिर चर्चा कीजिए: क्या जानवरों को कुछ प्रजातियों की रक्षा एवं संरक्षण के लिए चिड़ियाघर आवश्यक है? क्या वे (चिड़ियाघर) लोगों को शिक्षा देने में उपयोगी हैं? क्या चिड़ियाघरों का कोई विकल्प है?
The Tiger
The tiger behind the bars of his cage growls,
The tiger behind the bars of his cage snarls, The tiger behind the bars of his cage roars,
Then he thinks.
It would be nice not to be behind bars all The time
Because they spoil my view
I wish I were wild, not on show.
But if I were wild, hunters might shoot me, But if I were wild, food might poison me,
But if I were wild, water might drown me.
Then he stops thinking
And...
The tiger behind the bars of his cage growls, The tiger behind the bars of his cage snarls, The tiger behind the bars of his cage roars.
Peter Niblett
The Panther
His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold a thousand bars and behind the bars, no world.
anything else. It seems to him there are As he paces in cramped circles, over and over, the movement of his powerful soft strides is like a ritual dance around a centre in which a mighty will stands paralysed. Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly. An image enters in, rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Ans. Several species of wildlife are on the verge of extinction. There is a need to protect and conserve these species which include tigers, lions, etc. Many animals are hunted and poached while they are in the forest. Zoos are artificial habitats that can also develop into good scientific research centres. However, zoos are not the perfect substitute for forests since animals are confined in small cages. As a result their freedom to move around is restricted.
Yes, there are human alternative to zoos which are wildlife sanctuaries, national parks or bio-reserves where animals live in an open but protected environment. They are able to roam around freely yet, they are protected here from hunters and poachers.
