IN BROKEN IMAGES

He is quick, thinking in clear images;

I am slow, thinking in broken images.

.

He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;

I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.

.

Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;

Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.

.

Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;

Questioning their relevance, I question the fact.

,

When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;

When the fact fails me, I approve my senses.

.

He continues quick and dull in his clear images;

I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.

.

He in a new confusion of his understanding;

I in a new understanding of my confusion.

Review:

Theme: Man and social reality

The poem "In broken images" stretch a very engrossing message, the poet gives a philosophical view between two types of characters having a different ways of thinking. One is a traditional thinker; the other is a radical thinker. He explains the flaws of the traditional thinker, he trusts his clear images and assumes the facts. After assuming the relevance, eventually, he finds his conclusion incorrect, and he becomes upset. Comparatively, a radical thinker first verifies his broken images, then assume their relevance and becomes successful in getting his goal.  My most inspiring verse of this poem is “I continue slow and sharp in my broken images." If we refer to this poem in our society, we can say that we all are traditional thinkers we have no time to analyze and question the facts
