5. Study the following poem and answer all the questions which follow : 10x5=50 See it, the beautiful ball Poised in the toyshop window, Rounder than sun or moon. Is it red? is it blue? is it violet? It is everything we desire, And it does not exist at all. Non-existent and beautiful? Quite. In the rounding leap of our hands, In the longing hush of air, We know what that ball could be, How its blues and reds could spin To a headier violet. Beautiful in the mind, Like a word we are waiting to hear, That ball is construed, but lives Only in flash of flight, From the instant of release To the catch in another's hand. And the toy withheld is the token Of all who refrain from play— The shopkeepers, the collectors Like Queen Victoria, In whose adorable doll's house Nothing was ever broken. (a) What are the two toys mentioned in the poem? What do they represent? (b) How do alliteration, consonance and assonance create movement in the poem? (c) What is the tone of the poem? (d) How is the idea of waiting expressed in the poem? (e) Explain what the poet wants to convey through the allusion to Queen Victoria in the final stanza.
